Question

 Can someone tell me how does this work? I w as in my school meet and wanted to get a drink so I grabbed a cup and went to pull down the lever to get some water and I seen that the water was dropping down on the left side, So that is the reason why I made this post If you know why it's doing this Please tell me.

  1. Oh now that I see the video it makes more sense. My guess is something to do with the mechanism inside of the pouring part.

  2. Ola Orlando,
    What a unusual phenomenon! My guess is that there is some small part inside the tap that is causing this. Ka pai for having such a curious mind!

  3. Hi Orlando,
    Water has mass. The water being poured out is being pulled down by gravity, but so is the greater mass of the liquid behind it creating a pushing force as far as it can until gravity overcomes the pushing force and pulls it down.
