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

AI Thread Summary
Pouring liquid from a juice box without an airflow hole causes the liquid to squirt due to pressure differences. Creating a second hole opposite the pour spout allows air to flow in, resulting in a smoother pour. The discussion seeks to determine the optimal size for this airflow hole to prevent squirting. However, specific equations or guidelines for calculating the ideal hole size have not been found. Additional clarification on the problem statement is needed for further assistance.

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.

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
