A student wants to find out how much water flows from a faucet in three minutes What is the most accurate way for them to determine this?
Flow is measured by volume per time. To make measurement you will need a stop watch and a container that has a volume measurement such as a gallon jug or five gallon bucket. Start filling container and start timer simultaneously, then after three minutes turn off faucet. Measure amount of water in container either by the volume on the conainer itself or use another container to measure in increments such as a quart jar or a 2-litre. Once you have determined your volume divide it by your time which would be three minutes. If you used gallons your result would be gallons per minute or gpm. If you used litres it would be litres per minute.
