A U shaped tube has two arms of equal cross section and lengths `l_(1) = 80` cm and `l_(2) = 40` cm. The open ends are sealed with air in the tube at a pressure of 80 cm of mercury. Some mercury is now introduced in the tube through a stopcock connected at the bottom (the air is not allowed to leak out). In steady condition the length of mercury column in the shorter arm was found to be 10 cm. Find the length of the mercury column in the longer arm. Neglect the volume of the part of the tube connecting two arms and assume that the temperature is constant.

1.	A U shaped tube has two arms of equal cross section and lengths `l_(1) = 80` cm and `l_(2) = 40` cm. The open ends are sealed with air in the tube at a pressure of 80 cm of mercury. Some mercury is now introduced in the tube through a stopcock connected at the bottom (the air is not allowed to leak out). In steady condition the length of mercury column in the shorter arm was found to be 10 cm. Find the length of the mercury column in the longer arm. Neglect the volume of the part of the tube connecting two arms and assume that the temperature is constant.
