Support the seven-in-one apparatus with the open end upward, forcethe piston in, place on it a block of wood A (Fig. ,106), and on the blocka heavy weight. Attach one end of the rubber tubeB (12 feet long) to the apparatus, and insert a funnelC in the other end of the tube. Raise the latterend as high as practicable, and pour water intothe tube. Explain how the few ounces of waterstanding in the tube can exert a pressure of manypounds on the piston, and cause it to rise togetherwith the burden that is on
