When I shake a Can of Coke and bang the base of the can on the 
floor and then open it - the distance that the liquid goes is 
amazing. I use this illistration when I talk in School 
assemblies and today was asked what the pressure value was that 
had built up in the can before i pulled the ring pull. Can you 
help?
