In: Physics
Get a 2×4 and lay it flat in the ground. Now stick your hand under one end. Then have someone lift the other end so it’s standing up on your hand. You’ll feel the pressure change even though it’s the same amount of wood. That’s because gravity is now pulling all the wood onto your hand, when it wasn’t before. Same with water, it’s like a bunch of 2x4s stacked up.
