A vertical cylinder of height 100 cm contains air at a constant temperature. The top is closed by a frictionless light piston. The atmospheric pressure is equal to 75 cm of mercury. Mercury is slowly poured over the piston. Find the maximum height of the mercury column that can be put on the piston.

Q. A cylindrical tank of height 2 m has its top closed by a tight fitting friction-less piston of negligible mass. The helium gas inside the cylinder is at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. The gas is compressed slowly by pouring mercury on the piston. If the temperature of the gas is maintained constant, then the mercury will spill over the top of the cylinder when the piston is at a height of
