A barometer tube reads 76 cm of mercury. If the tube is gradually inclined at an angle of 60o with vertical, keeping the open end immersed in the mercury reservoir, the length of the mercury column will be (a) 152 cm (b) 76 cm (c) 38 cm (d) 38 3cm

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as $76 \mathrm{~cm}$ of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then becomes constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is $0.80 \mathrm{~cm}$ of mercury, find the height of the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
