    Could heavy piece of furniture be too much for second floor of house?

    Fluid dynamic question?

    I would like to ask a few questions about fluid pressure dynamics. In a closed system, would a higher altitude increase or decrease the pressure of the fluid in the system? If you had 2 different systems of fluid at the higher elevation how would the density of the fluid affect the pressure...
