An open and wide glass tube is immersed vertically in mercury in such a way that a length of 0.05m0.05\,\text{m} of air extends above the mercury level. The open end of the tube is closed and the tube is raised further by 0.43m0.43\,\text{m}. The length of the air column above the mercury level in the tube will be (take Patm=76cmP_{\text{atm}} = 76\,\text{cm} of mercury)
