Sort by:

When we suck water from straw first we basically decrease the pressure inside the straw but the pressure outside the straw remains $$1atm$$. So water rises inside the straw up to the level to equate the pressure inside and outside the straw. As the pressure outside the straw is $$1atm$$ and the pressure inside the straw is $$hdg$$ where $$h$$ is the height of water inside the straw. So $$1 atm=hdg$$. Just find $$h$$(be careful with the units).:) · 2 years, 9 months ago

Nice explanation , i too understood it

Another but same -

By sucking the water we are decrease the randomness of the molecules ( as it will get more time to oscillate between 2 points), now as you said , for achieving the equilibrium state water rises. · 2 years, 9 months ago
