You have now seen that the range of the water jet produced using the aspirator bottle does not change as the water level drops from near the top of the bottle to the level of the bottom of the capillary tube (refer to Question #78). For the question this week we will position the capillary tube so that its lower end is below the level of the nipple out of which the water squirts.
The question involves what will happen when the cork is removed from the nipple so that the water can flow out of the bottle. In particular, how far will the water squirt? (Refer to the previous answer to see the locations of the position identification numbers.)
When the cork is removed with the end of the capillary tube below the level of the nipple, the water range will extend to:
As time goes by the range of the water jet will:
