$A$ narrow glass tube,$80 \,cm$ long and open at both ends,is half-immersed in mercury. Now,the top of the tube is closed and it is taken out of the mercury. $A$ column of mercury $20 \,cm$ long remains in the tube. Find the atmospheric pressure.

  • A
    $20 \,cm$ of air column
  • B
    $60 \,cm$ of $Hg$ column
  • C
    $60 \,cm$ of air column
  • D
    $20 \,cm$ of $Hg$ column

$A$ long cylindrical pipe of radius $20 \,cm$ is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a $50 \,kg$ mass is attached to the piston,it moves down. If the air in the enclosure is cooled from temperature $T$ to $T-\Delta T$,the piston moves back to its original position. Then $\Delta T / T$ is close to (Assuming air to be an ideal gas,$g=10 \,m/s^2$,atmospheric pressure is $10^5 \,Pa$)
