A tube of length h (which is wide enough so that surface tension effects can be neglected) is filled with air and closed at one end is lowered into a tank of mercury to a depth h as shown; so that mercury rises a distance x into the tube. If the mercury barometer also reads 'h', then
                               

1. h (h-x)=h2

2. (2h-x) (h-x)=h2

3. (2h-x) (h+x)=h2

4. (2h) (h-x)=h2
