Show Me Some Science! Drum Crush
A 55 gallon drum is filled with water on the 3rd floor balcony. A hose siphons water to the ground 10 meters (30 feet) below. What happens next will blow your mind! As the water falls down to the ground the pressure decreases, but the hose on the bottom is open to the air and [...]
