It is impossible to separate the Magdeburg Hemispheres because the push of pressure on the outside is not balanced by the push of pressure from within.

What happens when two magdeburg spheres are pulled after air pressure has been pumped into it?

it just comes apart. If air pressure is pumped out,then it would be impossible to pull apart unless air gets back in. this is the story about the Magdeburg experiment:The Magdeburg hemispheres were a pair of large copper hemispheres with mating rims. When the rims were sealed with grease and the air was pumped out, the sphere contained a vacuum and could not be pulled apart by teams of horses. German scientist and mayor of Magdeburg, Otto von Guericke in 1650, designed the Magdeburg hemispheres. He designed them to demonstrate the air pump he had invented and the concept of atmospheric pressure. The first artificial vacuum had been produced a few years earlier by Evangelista Torricelli, and had inspired von Guericke to design the world's first vacuum pump, which consisted of a piston and cylinder with one-way flap valves. The hemispheres became popular in physics lectures as an illustration of the power of air pressure, and are still used in education. The original hemispheres are preserved in the Deutsches Museum in Munich.


Who said that when all the air is sucked out from between two magdeburg hemispheres they cannot be separated because there is a vacuum inside them?

Otto Von Guericke :)

Can you separate two hemispheres if all the air is suck out from them?

No, you cannot separate two hemispheres by sucking out the air from between them. The force keeping the hemispheres together is atmospheric pressure acting on the outside of the hemispheres, not the air inside.

What keeps magdeburgs hemispheres together?

The Magdeburg hemispheres, around 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter, were designed to demonstrate the vacuum pump that von Guericke had invented. One of them had a tube connection to attach the pump, with a valve to close it off. When the air was sucked out from inside the hemispheres, and the valve was closed, the hose from the pump could be detached, and they were held firmly together by the air pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.
