Q. A thin tube of uniform cross section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally. The middle 5cm containing Hg and the two equal parts containing air at the pressure P0 . When the tube is held at an angle 60∘ with the vertical, the length of air column above and below the mercury are 46 and 44.5cm respectively. Calculate the pressure P0 in cm of Hg (the temperature of the system is kept at 30∘C ). Report answer after rounding off to the nearest integer value.
