Does a rubber mat on a device prevent static build up and discharge on a metal device well using it
High School Does a rubber mat on a device prevent static build up
Click For Summary
A standard rubber mat typically does not prevent static build-up and discharge on metal devices unless it is specifically designed as an anti-static mat. The discussion highlights the importance of using materials that are effective in dissipating static electricity. A silicon suction cup base was mentioned as a potential alternative, but its effectiveness was questioned. The conversation emphasizes the need for proper materials to mitigate static electricity. Overall, the consensus is that not all mats or materials are suitable for preventing static issues.

Did you read the article? 
What must a material have in order to help to prevent the buildup of static electricity?

As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air.
Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side.
Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct?
What is the pressure for all points in senario C?
