A thin tube of uniform cross-section is sealed at both ends. When it lies horizontally, the middle 5cm length contains mercury and the two equal ends contain air at the same pressure P. When the tube is held at an angle of 60o with the vertical, then the lengths of the air columns above and below the mercury column are 46cm and 44.5cm respectively. Calculate the pressure P in cm of mercury. The temperature of the system is kept at 30oC.
