Why does a fountain pen leak at high altitude?

उत्तर
A fountain pen filled with ink contains some air at a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure on earth's surface. When pen is taken to an altitude, atmospheric pressure is low so the excess pressure inside the rubber tube forces the ink to leak out.
