Why does water stop flowing from a hole when the bottle cap is closed?

[Einstein60]

Today, I filled a bottle with water and I created a small hole beneath the bottle on the side. I realized that if I open the cock of the bottle, the water flowed out of the hole but if I close it, the water stopped flowing. WHY?

As I understand it, you have a bottle with an opening at the top and a valve on the opening.

You have added a small hole at the bottom (small enough so that air does not bubble in through it). You notice that when the top valve is open that the water flows freely out the bottom. But if you close the valve at the top, water no longer flows out.

If you leave the valve open at the top, does anything flow into the bottle through the opening?

If you close the valve, what happens to the air pressure in the bottle above the water if some water, hypothetically, continues to flow out the hole?

Can you answer either question?

No

You will do better here if you make an effort. We're here to teach, not to spoon feed.

Okay.
