Vacuum Containers

Most recent answer: 03/28/2013

Q:
Hypothetical question about vacuums: If you were to take a rigid and sealed container, put it inside a vacuum bag, pull all the air out of the bag by connecting it to a vacuum line (say, in a workshop), would the container experience any difference in pressure against its outer (or inner) walls? Or would it just be a container in a bag with no extra space between them?

A:
From your description, it sounds as if it would "just be a container in a bag with no extra space between them".
