Would it be easier to drink water with straw on the top of mount everest?
Answers
I believe it would be almost impossible to drink water from a straw at the top of Mount Everest.
The water would freeze and become ice at that height of more than 8000 meters above sea level.
Temperature are less than 0 degrees at that height.
Higher the altitude, lesser the atmospheric pressure and lower the temperature.
Answer:
Explanation:When we deink through a straw the pressure inside the straw decreases as the air is withdrawan by the mouth and the liquid is pushed up to our mouth by atmospheric pressure. Thus it depends upon the pressure difference. So if pressure difference is more then it is easy to drink with straw and vice versa. At Mt Everest atmospheric pressure is low and hence pressure difference is less than at base. Hence it is easier to drink with straw at base rather than Mt Everest.
