Due to the refraction of light, a body of water (whether its a sink, pool or lake) will appear more shallow than it actually is.

Why filling a bucket from downstairs tap fills faster?

The larger the height difference between a point in a liquid and its surface (AKA the deeper it is), the more the pressure exerted at that point. To make it easy to visualize, imagine you are in a swimming pool. You get a feeling of being squeezed when you are under the water. The deeper you get (that is, the further you are from the surface), the stronger that squeeze is. That squeeze you feel is pressure. Whatever your setup is, whether you take the water from the city main pipeline or you have your own water tank or water pump, the idea is the same. The downstairs tap is "deeper" than the upstairs tap, i.e. it experiences more pressure. Since the larger pressure means a larger force, the water in the downstairs tap experiences a larger force, so more water can come out of that tap.

Why does a brush hair is fluff when immersed in water?

When a brush hair is immersed in water, the water molecules fill the spaces between the strands of the hair, causing them to swell. This swelling makes the hair appear fluffy as it no longer lies flat against other hairs. Additionally, the surface tension of the water can also help separate the strands, contributing to the fluffy appearance.


What could 300 liters of water fill?

How did the friction take longer time to fill water can with hose than tap?

Friction in the hose causes water flow to be slower compared to the direct flow from the tap. This is due to the resistance the water encounters as it moves through the length of the hose, resulting in a longer time to fill the can. With the tap, there is a direct and unobstructed flow of water, leading to a faster fill time.

How do fish maintain a vertical position?

Fish have an organ called the swim bladder. When the want to go deeper they fill it up with water and they sink down. When the want to go up, they release all the water and they float up.


What is the relationship between the depth of water and the pressure it exerts?

Water has weight. The deeper an object goes into the water, the more weight is pressed upon them, resulting in the pressure differences. This is why divers are told not to ever hold their breath under water. As you go deeper, more weight is pressed against your body, resulting in your bodies air supply shrinking. A good experiment is to take a balloon and fill it with air. Then pull it under water. The deeper it goes, the more it seems to deflate, however, as it is brought back up to the surface, the air seems to refill. This is physics at its best.

Does the amount of water affect the way a boat floats?

A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.

How can you fix a toilet that groans at the end of the flush?

Replace the fill valve (ballcock). The type that uses a diaphragm, like fluidmaster, will shut it off quicker. Reason that occures: vibrations in the pipe from the fill valve when the water flows through the ballcock ( like a whistle does with air), but water makes a deeper sound and sometimes vibrates quite loudly once that starts. If that doesn't fix it, try replacing the supply water valve.
