Question Stem
A soft plastic bottle, filled with water of density 1 gm/cc, carries an inverted glass test-tube
with some air (ideal gas) trapped as shown in the figure. The test-tube has a mass of 5 gm,
and it is made of a thick glass of density 2.5 gm/cc. Initially the bottle is sealed at

atmospheric pressure 𝑝𝑝0 = 10 Pa so that the volume of the trapped air is 𝑣𝑣0 = 3.3 cc. When
the bottle is squeezed from outside at constant temperature, the pressure inside rises and the
volume of the trapped air reduces. It is found that the test tube begins to sink at pressure
P0 + ∆p without changing its orientation. At this pressure, the volume of the trapped air is
