An open, clean glass tube, having a diameter of $3 \mathrm{mm},$ is inserted vertically into a dish of mercury at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (see Video $\mathrm{V} 1.10$ ). How far will the column of mercury in the tube be depressed?
Determine the greatest distance $h$ that the column of mercury in the tube will be depressed when the tube is inserted into the mercury at a room temperature of $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Set $D=3 \mathrm{~mm}$
