Really? I am so disappointed in nature... Just to solidify my understanding of this concept. Imagine a bicycle air pump. That has a really good seal and is 3000 ft high. If we pull the pump up while the air is drawn from the bottom at sea level, would the pressure at the top of the cylinder...

Thank you for the replies. I have a second question. See the attached picture for details. Let's assume we have a pipe that extends from sea level to 3000 meters. Let's also assume the the whole pipe is filled with air at sea level pressures and the bottom is open to the atmosphere while the...

Bernoulli's principal states that as velocity of a fluid increases, the static pressure decreases. I wonder if the reverse order can also happen. For example, if there is a pipe laid on the side of a mountain that is 3000 ft high. The bottom end of the pipe would be exposed to pressure at sea...
