Hello
I had a question, related to a recent experiment we've done, that I have been thinking about for a while now. Hopefully someone can help as it has been bugging me!
Consider two situations:
A: a syringe is filled with 5ml of air and then sealed
B: the same syringe but now filled with 10ml of air and then sealed.
Why is it much harder to pull the plunger in case A? And if we were to pull each of the plungers down with the same force, why would plunger B move more?
Thanks!
