Air separated from the atmosphere by a column of mercury of length h=15cm is present in a narrow cylindrical two soldered at one end. When the tube is placed horizontally the air occupies a volume V 1 =240 mm 3 . When it is set vertically with its open end upwards the volume of the air is V 2 =200 mm 3 . The atmospheric pressure during the experiment is 7ncm of Hg where n is single digit number. Find n.
