Answer 1

This seems natural, but I can't wrap my head around it when I think about it.

When I squeeze an open bottle filled with water, the water will spill out. When I squeeze a bottle, the material collapses where I squeeze it, but expands in other areas, resulting in a constant volume. If the volume is constant, then I would think that the water shouldn't spill out.

If I were to guess, there is something related to the pressure my hand is creating inside the bottle, but I'm not entirely sure.
