      It is indeed a good brain teaser for thinking about conservation of energy. I love indisputable physical laws that intuitively feel at first like they break conservation. Knowing that fundamentally they cannot, teasing out why is always a great thought experiment. Definitely brain food for anyone studying thermodynamics.

Last time also I saw some video to get a clear picture of this paradox but was not that much good. I am feeling like this time nothing left in this concept. Your students must be the luckiest one.

    There is one important detail missing from the description, which I think will confuse many viewers: the cylinder pressing down on the scale is a sliding plunger. We are not "weighing" the entire container and the water within, but rather the pressure exerted by the sliding plunger. (Most of the weight of the apparatus is supported by the clamp holding it in place.)

      Every video I’ve seen about this paradox does not explain that. You assume they are weighing a flask and water. That would always be the same no matter the shape. If you put this on a scale, without supporting the flask, the weight would the same no matter the shape. Otherwise, every experiment would be different based whether you use a beaker or a flask and the size.

    It may help to reduce the feeling of 'paradox' in the Hydrostatic Paradox if one remembers that there are several other basic ways of 'multiplying force', such as the lever, the screw, the pulley, and the gear-wheel. These all enable a relatively small application of force to achieve a great effect, e.g. using a small weight to lift a much larger weight. This is not magic: we are not getting something for nothing. There is a trade-off between the strength of the force generated as the 'output' and the distance over which the force of the 'input' has to be applied to achieve the effect. For example in the case of a lever of the standard kind (with the fulcrum between the force and the load), a force of one kilo can only lift a load of ten kilos by moving through ten times the distance. In the case of a hydraulic press and similar devices, the trade-off is between the distance through which the 'input' fluid moves as compared with the much smaller distance through which the 'working' end of the press moves in the same time.

      Similarly, in the static case, in which the same 50g mass balances different volumes of water, the trade-off is accomplished by the extra work of lifting the water to a higher height.

      The same work is done, but the second method requires much less force.
      Work = Force * Distance

      And tbis is assuming the tube is large enough that capillary force doesn't become significant ( assuming the total volume is fixed at 1 liter, the height and cross sectional area would be inversely proprtiona) . Once the tube is small enough there would be no additional pressure in the flask.

I just used to say thats what the hydrostatic pressure calculations give me, but i couldnt quite answer exactly why. They used to think i was going over the top by putting in reinforced joists on the shutter panels to withstand the forces.

      The explanation is simple. It is a combination of the previous two examples. The upper surface of the slanted tube exerts a downward force that adds weight and the lower surface exerts an upper force that reduces weight. If you apply the virtual volume concept (imagine a fluid mass reaching outside the surface to the level of the fluid) you will realize that the downward force is slightly bigger than the upward one. This is because the upper surface is slightly bigger than the upper ward force which means that an additional weight is applied precisely equal to the weight of the slanted volume of the fluid

    Water has a head pressure of about 0.43 PSI per foot of height. So, a 75ft column of water has a head pressure of about 32 PSI. That's about 2 atmospheres.

Great video just wish they had taken more time to explain the math so I could figure out what I was doing wrong or they could see they messed up the math. I was using 14.7 psi for every 33 feet of seawater(.445 PSI/foot but close enough to .43 for fresh water). The one atmosphere of 14.7 PSI would be essentially the same at the top and bottom of tube and all around the vessel so it cancels. I always wonder if I am crazy when someone smarter than me makes an arithmetic error or misplaces a decimal or confuses units. Still occurs to me that we could be completely wrong and missing some subtle aspect of this.

      OMG, best comment ever ;) I'm totally with you. It's not like imperial is bad and the end it's just a set of units and numbers that you learn as the kid and got used to it. What is bad is inconsistency that it produces. For example all electric and magnetic laws are based on SI International Measurement System with uses metric units (kilograms, meters). Volt is at the end (kg*m^2)/(A*s^3), ohm is at the end (kg*m^2)/(s^3*A^2). Not using metric system which is International Standard or using Imperial units mixed with metric (like wire resistance Ohm per feet, blaaahh) is a tumor on measurement consistency.

    I have seen a turbine at a off-grid location that generates electricity powered by hydrostatic pressure.

The pipe must be made progressively thicker from top to bottom to hold the pressure.

      I think it is because as the water is pushing against the walls of the slanted tube the vertical component of the pushing force increases the weight on top of the balance and so we need 50g weight to balance it even though most of the water is away from the stopper

    As far as I know, the hydraulic lift (not the hydraulic jack) used to lift vehicles doesnt utilise the force multiplication effect. The cylinder piston under the vehicle is actually of lower area and is used to move the vehicle up over a longer distance. The larger area cylinder piston is the one where pressure is applied on a barrel of oil using an air compressor. It requires more force, but that is achieved using air. So it works on Pascal's principle, but contrary to what is commonly explained for the hydraulic lift, the car is not lifted by force amplification.

    *_Here the real (math) paradox_* for me at 0:20 => the height of the water in the straw was said to be 75 ft. I was taught that a height of approx 34 ft of water produced 1 bar or (which is the same thing) 1 atmosphere of pressure. So, 75/34 = 2.2 bar = 2.2 atmospheres. Now 1 bar or 1 atmosphere of pressure is approx *_14.7 psi_* . Therefore 2.2 x 14.7 = *_32.4 psi_* ??? How does this pressure become around *_45 psi_* inside the barrel, as stated in this video? [another way of saying it, in order to have 45 psi water pressure, its height must be 45/14.7 x 34 = *_104 ft_* .]

    As a geologist I learned that (fresh) water exerts a pressure of 0.433 pounds per square inch per foot. Therefore a tube 100 feet high would exert a pressure of 43.3 psi at its base, regardless of the diameter of the tube. This was critically important in assessing the weight of fluids needed to withhold fluid influxes in a borehole.

    Forgive my pedantic quibble though; it took me some time to understand the weighing set-up. Dunces like me could benefit had the stopper and lower tube coupling been further elaborated.
    Save for this petty nitpick, the video undoubtedly is purely edifying.
    An application that comes to my mind is the use of surge tanks to relieve immediate pressure surges, like due to the closing of valves, somewhere in the pipping system, which by Pascal's law will be equally transmitted throughout the system.

    Dr. Visnjic:
    Thank you. Great video fun and great learning I thought I knew, and very well presented. That was nice to give credit to Mr. Stevin.
    I had some minor notes/questions, sincere apologies if they are obvious or wrong. Pls forgive the numbering, its just for me to attempt being organized!
    1. The point about all points in a fluid being at same pressure isn't quite right, is it, under gravity, since the fluid has mass, if the vessel is not all at one height, isnt that correct.
    2. The pressure in the vessel also wouldnt be equal everywhere, if the fluid were moving, say if the fluid was rotating in the vessel, or convecting. or vessel is in noninertial frame?
    3a.. It would be great to understand the role of atmospheric pressure here, especially if it were low, say down here vapor pressure; and if gravity were much higher;
    3b. and how the results would be different if the vessels tops were not open to the air.
    3c. and Especially,, with the cool barrel experiment, what if the top of the 150 ft tube was sealed, before pressure applied at the barrel. what would happen, at that height,150? feet? I guess all the gases would come out of solution at the top; then the fluid water at top would starts to vaporize in near vacuum.and the plastic tube would shrinks everywhere, and the barrel still explodes?
    4. And if I had a wishlist, I would love to understand the relation of static pressures, such as shown shown here, to the vessels' "capacities, like a battery, and the output Impedances" or what an EE like me would call it, (dynamic heads?)say of the different shapes as here and the same initial flluid height height, for instance the martini 630g glass vessel I would say has high capacity, initially at least, and llow output impedance to flow out of its bottom aperture, while the one with the thin top, would have low capacity and high output impedance to flow out of it's bottom aperture?
    Thanks for your work and cool demos, and any consideration,
    Best regards,

    In so many beautiful ways nature always squares up the books. Work is force over distance. Work expended on the small cylinder in a hydraulic jack has to match the work accomplished at the larger piston.
    A small force over a large distance (many repetitions of the jack handle) has to be the same work done at the large cylinder. Because it can't move as far for each cc of fluid, the large piston has to do so with far greater force than the small cylinder.
    I deeply regret not paying better attention in school. Physics is wonderful.
    Thank you for the food for thought.

Perhaps the designer and CEO of that company underestimated how harsh the conditions were as deep in the sea as the Titanic wreck and overestimated the ability of carbon fiber to withstand those kinds of forces in compression. However, my brother and I have a running hypothesis that it was the cold temperatures down there that caused the epoxies used to become brittle and eventually fail.
