In the given figure a glass tube lies horizontally with the middle 20 cm containing mercury. The two ends of the tube contains air at 27°C and at a pressure 76 cm of mercury. Now the air column on one side is maintained at 0°C and the other side is maintained at 127°C. Find the new length of the air column on the cooler side. Neglect the changes in the volume of mercury and of the glass.
