I was a little confused on this lab I hope I completed this lab correct.

When you squeeze the bottle the water rises in the vertical tube and the water preesure tube will shorten the air column. The harder you squeeze the higher the water rises and the shorter the air column becomes.

I measured the length of the column with a ruler I taped one of the ends to the column and then measured the column to get an accurate reading.
