WHAT ISOfficial UK measurement for measuring water depth?
The official UK measurement for measuring water depth is in meters.
Convert 78 square meters to cubic meters?
This is not a valid conversion. Cubic units is a measure of volume while square units is a measure of area. Generally, volume is determined by multiplying length x width x depth. Area is normally determined by multiplying length x width.
Why is a parallax measurement is easier to make if the baseline is longer?
Better depth perception.
How do you measure volume in the metric system?
Volume is measure as width times height by depth no matter the system you're using. The metric system would just define the type of measurement you would use, such as liters instead of gallons.
What metric unit would you use to measure the depth of Lake Michigan?
volume
What is the difference between volume and depth?
volume is a measurement of capacity, 3 dimensional. depth is a measurement of length, 2 dimensional.
How do you figure out cubic measurements?
A cubic measurement is a volume measurement. To calculate volume, multiply Area x Height (or Depth).
What stream measurement is taken in meters?
In meters you can measure the length of a section, the average depth and the speed can be expressed in meters per second
How do you find the depth to width ratio?
Measure the depth and width using the same units. Divide the depth measurement by the width measurement.
What is the rainfall of Japan?
40 to 100 inches in depth.
How do you find a volume of a room?
Height x depth x width = volume in cubic (unit of measurement - feet, yard, centimetres, metres) e.g. 2m x 2m x 2m = 8m3
What is one centimeter of water?
centimetres cubed. centimetre is distance, squared is area, cubed is volume. 1cm3 of water is 1millilitre of water. And with density being near 1g/cm3, 1ml of water is 1 gram (weight) If someone says the rainfall has been 1cm (more commonly rainfall is measured in mm) it means that a depth of rainfall of that amount has occurred. Otherwise it means that the depth of water in a location is 1 cm.
How do you write a formula for volume equals area x average depth?
Volume= surface area (length x width) x depth re arrange to surface area= depth= Volume/Area Area= Volume/Depth
How can rainfall data help in the design of drainages?
during the design of drainage, the rainfall data provides the designer rainfall factor. the area of the site or tributary area is given. the volume of water within the tributary area is equal to rainfall depth and the tributary area also it helps to estimate time of concentration and peak runoff rate it is important to design of drainage
How many gallons in a 3'x10' tank?
In order to work out a volume three measurements are needed length, depth and hight. If you supply the last measurement I can tell you the answer.
WHAT ISOfficial UK measurement for measuring water depth?
The official UK measurement for measuring water depth is in meters.
How do you find the height of a rectangular box given the width depth and volume?
height * width * depth = volume height = volume / (depth * width) Volume = lengthXwidthXheight V=LWH H=V/LW
