Can connected vases have different #water levels? 💧🧪 #shorts #DrTatiana #physics

Dr. Tatiana demonstrates a classic experiment based on Pascal's law, showing that water always reaches the same level in connected containers, regardless of their shape. This happens because the pressure is the same at equal depths throughout the connected fluid. The same principle powers hydraulic presses and helps water towers deliver water to our homes. To take the experiment a step further, the entire apparatus is placed on a rotating platform. As it spins, the water rises higher in the tubes farther from the center of rotation due to the centrifugal force of inertia. Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova is a professor at Texas A&M University @tamu in College Station, Texas. 👍 LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more fun science content! ➡️ Follow our channels at https://linktr.ee/tamuphysastr #pascallaw #science #fyp #tamu
