An open glass tube is immersed in mercury in such a way that a length of $8\ cm$ extends above the mercury level. The open end of the tube is then closed and sealed and the tube is raised vertically up by additional $46\ cm$. What will be length of the air column above mercury in the tube now ....... $cm$ ?

An incompressible liquid is kept in a container having a weightless piston with a hole. A capillary tube of inner radius $0.1 \mathrm{~mm}$ is dipped vertically into the liquid through the airtight piston hole, as shown in the figure.
