What is measured in fathoms?
The depth of water. One fathom = six feet.
Are depth and volume the same?
No they are not because volume is the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies and mass is a body of matter; considerable portion.
Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?
The weight of eggs, water and milk are measured in ounces or cups. The volume of water, eggs, and milk is measured as a liquid. The volume of butter is measured as a solid.
Does depth affect water resistance?
Resistance of water is probably defined as pressure being applied by water on objects and as it's stated in fluid mechanics books pressure increases as height decreases or depth increases, so simply the answer is "yes".
What is the relationship between the average precipitation amounts and the depth of the topsoil?
The relation ship between average precipitation and the depth of the soil is the moister and the water vapor water evaporates and one is a solid and the other is a solid.
How are floods measured?
Floods are measured by a known level of depth. If the water level is over that depth, it may be considered a flood.
Snow is measured by both the depth of accumulation and the?
Water content
What is measured in fathoms?
The depth of water. One fathom = six feet.
How do you convert measured depth to true vertical depth?
To convert measured depth to true vertical depth, first write down the measured depth. You will have to map an X, Y, Z point from that calculation, as well as using the azimuth and inclination.
Which information is most important when passing near a lighthouse?
Depth of water
What does the abbreviation ATM on a waterproof watch stand for?
ATM is the depth by which water resistance is measured on a watch. ATM stands for Atmospheres. 1 atmosphere is equivalent to appx. 33 feet depth in water. So if a watch is 3 ATM = 100 ft. water resistant.
Can depth be measured in negative numbers?
No, it is measured in positive numbers but it can be represented by negative numbers.
Why will there be a great error if the water displacement method is used to to determine the volume of rice grains?
because the rice grains will absorb some of the water, which will then not be measured on the depth scale.
How do you figure depth of cylinder in sq feet?
Depth is not a dimension of a cylinder. Also, depth is measured in feet, not sq feet.
Are depth and volume the same?
No they are not because volume is the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies and mass is a body of matter; considerable portion.
What is discharge river a measurement of?
river discharge is when the amount of water is measured and the amount that is in the river channel, and at a given point (width,length,depth)
What is precipitation measured in?
Rain, snow, sleet, hail etc. are typically measured in inches or centimeters of depth.
