Summary

Four funnels, each containing ten milliliters of water, are connected to differing lengths of capillary tubing. The greater the length of the capillary tube, the longer it takes for the water to flow through the apparatus. Click on any image to enlarge it.

Narration

Four funnels, each containing ten milliliters of water, are connected to differing lengths of capillary tubing. Note that the flow rate is greatest in the apparatus with the shortest capillary tube. The greater the length of the capillary tube, the longer it takes for the water to flow through the apparatus.
