Height of Water Column

Return to Fluid Statics

Description:

Fill a tall tube with water using a vacuum. Create a Vacuum in a tube with the vacuum pump (close the valve and remove the hose from the pump), after that fill a pail or a bucket with water/dye mix (so it is clearly visible to the students). Position the tube with the valve end in the pail and open the valve, doing so will suck up the water into the tube (as this goes on the tube may get heavy be careful).
