Two holes are made in the side of a cylindrical bucket, symmetrically placed on opposite sides. The holes are closed with corks and the bucket is filled with water. If the corks be taken out the water will stream out of the holes. What will happen if the bucket falls freely?

CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. While the bucket is falling freely, the upper layers of water will cease to exert pressure on the lower ones and therefore there will be no pressure on the side-walls of the bucket. Thus the water will cease to flow out.
