How Big Should the Airflow Hole Be for Smooth Liquid Pouring from a Juice Box?

If you pour liquid from a regular juice box, and there is no air flowing into the container, then the liquid will squirt when it exits the open lid. But if you make a hole on the opposite side of the lid, so there are two holes. The original hole for pouring the liquid, and the second hole to create a flow of air into the container, the stream of the liquid will then be more smoothly and reduce the squirting.

My question is whether there is any equation to calculate how big the hole for the airflow must be, before the stream of the liquid leaving the juice box will be smoother, and not squirt. I've tried researching this for quite some time, but I've not find anything relevant.

Hi Ytisulu, welcome to PhysicsForums! Since this is the Homework forum, we need you to do a couple things before we can help you out with this problem. Specifically, we need to know exactly what the problem statement is, and what things you've tried with it so far. Once you've done that, we can help you with whatever parts you're stuck on.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
