7) straws work on the principle of the outside atmospheric pressure pushing the fluid (for example water) up the straw after you have lowered the pressure at the top of the straw (in your mouth). assuming you could create a perfect vacuum in your mouth, what is the longest vertical straw you could drink water from?

The longest straw will be 10.328 meters long.

Explanation:

The water will rise up to a height pressure due to which will balance the atmospheric pressure.

We know

Pressure due to water column of height 'h'

Equating both the values we get the value of height 'h' as
