Now the elasticity of the air in NP+ the weight of the column MP= the pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of th&fluid + the weight of a column of water extending to the bottom;or, p being the… … SIPHON. 439. The siphon is an instrument for transferring fluidsfrom one vessel V to another V in whichthe surface of the fluid is lower. It consistsof a bent tube with one branch longer thanthe other. Suppose this tube to be filled withthe fluid from the vessel V, and to have itsextremities…
