[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 5939400, member: 447632"] There is no one equation that will answer such a hypothetical situation. We need a better description of the system you are trying to analyse. Is it a submarine or a glass bottle? You will need to identify the initial condition, is the box really empty or does it contain air at atmospheric pressure? What are the dimensions and orientation, of the box and the hole? How thick is the wall of the box at the hole? How deep is the hole in the box below the surface? Is it submerged in sea water of fresh water? The pressure difference is the hydrostatic pressure due to water depth at the hole, less the rising pressure inside the box as it fills. It is easier to calculate pressures than to measure. Unless you can better describe the problem here, the only answer will be to suggest you study computational fluid dynamics. [/QUOTE]
