EXPERIMENT NO. 2

A tumbler is filled with water and a piece of paper placed over the top of it. The glass is then inverted, holding the hand over the paper so that none of the water will come out. On taking the hand away, although the glass of water is inverted, the contents do not leave the glass. (See Fig. [4].)
