Question:

You are on the balcony of the upper floor of a high-rise building in Chicago. Way down below on the street, your friend is engaged in conversation with someone and is drinking a particularly flavorful mixed drink. You decide to take a sip from his glass without his knowing, so you collect together every drinking straw in the apartment and start taping them together to create a very long drinking straw. If the atmospheric pressure is currently 760 mm Hg, what is the longest straw you can use to get a sip of your friend’s drink? (Assume the density of the drink is the same as pure water, 1.0 g/mL.)
