This is just a question I have been wondering about.
From what I understand, the pressure of a liquid, no matter the shape of the container, is dependent only on height.
So, the scenario I am wondering, is:
Say I can breath underwater, and I seal myself up into a tank of ~100 gallons, so that I can fit into it (keep in mind, completely sealed, no air gaps). Now, someone cuts a tiny hole on top, say the size of a straw, and attaches a 30 foot tall straw that won't break to the hole. If they now fill that straw up all the way, will I feel like I am under 30 additional feet of water?
And, if so, would the same scenario hold similar results?
I seal myself up into an Olympic sized swimming pool. I float on the far right ride, but someone cuts a hole and adds a 100 foot straw to the left side and fills it. Do I really feel an additional 100 feet of pressure on the other side of the pool again?
Thanks
