30. Would it be easier to drink water with a straw on the top of Mount Everest? |
|
Answer» At the foot of the mountain. Ignoring the likelihood of freezing, bringing a liquid up through a straw requires air pressure to push the liquid into and up the straw. The liquid is not pulled up the straw by your mouth, but pushed up by the now greater outside air pressure. Thus the greater the air pressure (which it would be at the foot of Everest), the easier it is to drink through a straw |
