When you squeeze a bottle, the pressure inside the bottle increases, pushing the air out. This causes the air pressure underneath the pen cap to decrease, creating a pressure difference with the water around it. The higher pressure of the water pushes the pen cap down, causing it to sink.

Why does the pen cap sink in the bottle of water when pressure is applied?

When pressure is applied to the bottle of water, the volume of the air inside the bottle decreases, causing the air pressure to increase. This increased air pressure then pushes down on the pen cap, causing it to sink in the water. Once the pressure is released, the cap will float back to the surface.

Capping a pen helps to prevent the ink from drying out. When the cap is placed on the pen, it creates an airtight seal that keeps the ink from evaporating or becoming exposed to air, which can cause it to thicken or solidify.
