Problem
A column of mercury of length 10 cm is contained in the middle of a horizontal tube of length 1 m closed at both ends. The two equal air columns are initially at standard atmospheric pressure, equivalent to 0.76 m of mercury. The tube is turned vertically. By what distance, in cm, is the mercury column displaced? Assume constant temperature.
