You can fill a bucket from a downstairs tap quicker than from an upstairs tap?
You can do this because it takes more pressure from the pipe to flow water to the upstairs tap than the amount of pressure it takes to flow water to the downstairs tap. This is clear in Bernoulli's Equation: The fancy-looking p (pronounced rho) in the first two terms represents the density of the liquid, v represents the velocity in which the fluid is traveling, g is the acceleration due to gravity (appx. 9.8m/s^2), and z is the difference in height traveled by the fluid, the final P represents the atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa). As you can see, as the value of variable z decreases, it allows for the only other variable, v, to increase. This explains why, at a higher elevation and a constant force applied to the fluid, water will flow faster at a lower height than a higher point. EDIT: It won't let me add an image for some odd reason, search Bernoulli's Principle and look for the phrase, "By multiplying with the fluid density", and reference the equation underneath for a more complete understanding of what I just said.
Why tap on a ground floor of a house flows with much greater speed?
Water comes into your house at ground level. Therefore the pressure will be greater downstairs than up, (gravity) although, there shouldn't be that much differnce. You may have a problem with an airlock or blockage that is slowing the water pressure down by the time it reaches the upper floors of your house. Get a plumber to check it out.

Why a stone sinks in water?
Water exerts a force on anything that comes into contact with it, this is known as Hydric force. The force always pulls at the object, drawing it down. You will notice that if you put your hand under water, and bring it out slowly, the water seems to cling to your hand as it breaks the surface. This is why. Stones can't pull themselves out of water, so the Hydric force overpowers them and pulls them down.
Why water comes out slowly from an upstairs tap than a similar tap placed downstairs?
The pressure of water in the pipes is called the 'head of pressure' and it is the difference in level between the water surface height (above sea level) in the nearest reservoir to the height (above sea level) of your tap. This 'head' will be higher for a downstairs tap than an upstairs tap and therefore the pressure and water flow rate upstairs will be less than for downstairs.

Why is water leaking on the downstairs ceiling when the H or C faucets on the upstairs tub are turned on if it is not leaking through the drain or tub?
If the tub has a shower as well, the pipe from the faucet to the shower head could be leaking. You might also check the tube that comes OUT and fills the tub. It could be leaking back at the valve when you turn on the water.

What happens to Anthony and johanna at the end of sweeny todd?
The last time you see Anthony is when he is getting a carriage for them so they can runaway, telling Johanna to wait for him there, then she hears a women coming upstairs so she hides. Benjamin Barker ( Sweeney Todd) comes upstairs ,kills the woman ( not knowing its his wife), the judge and almost his own daughter Johanna( because she is in disguise as a boy). But he heard Mrs lovett scream and ran downstairs... so you can assume this means Anthony brought the carriage , and they runaway and get married ( or just fall in love)... and Johanna never finds out what happened that day... or Anthony might have been shocked to see blood all over the place when he returned, and Johanna may have been curious to why someone screamed downstairs so they both go downstairs revealing Benjamin, the woman( Benjamin's wife Lucy) dead and a bunch of blood ... ( or Toby.)
