Assuming the taps are physically identical and the pipes leading to each tap are of a consistent size as well (and that the two are both fed directly from the same main with no intermediate Plumbing weirdness), the downstairs tap should have a (slightly) higher water pressure. Each foot of difference in height between the two taps will make a difference of a bit over two-fifths of a pound per square inch of water pressure.

Which balloon can deflate faster?

A balloon filled with helium will likely deflate faster than a balloon filled with air because helium molecules are smaller and can escape through the balloon material more easily.


What would feel warmer - a bucket of water at 50 degrees Celsius or a bathtub filled with water at 25 degrees Celsiuswhich of these stored more energy?

The bucket of water at 50 degrees Celsius would feel warmer because it has a higher temperature. However, the bathtub filled with water at 25 degrees Celsius likely stores more energy due to its larger volume of water even though it may feel cooler.


Why does a bucket gets filled faster by the tap on the lower floor than that on the top floor?

The reason is quite simple. Your water pipes are under your house, condo, apartment, etc. the higher up you use the water the lower the water pressure, because it uses more pressure to move the water up to the 2nd floor than to the first thus weakening the stream of water.


What simple machine is a shadoof?

A shadoof is a type of lever that is commonly used to lift water from a lower level to a higher level. It consists of a long pole with a bucket or container on one end and a counterweight on the other end. When the bucket is filled with water, the counterweight makes it easier to lift the water up.


What is the difference between having helium in a balloon and having air in a balloon?

Helium is lighter than air, so a balloon filled with helium will float. In contrast, air-filled balloons will sink because the density of air is greater than that of helium. Additionally, helium balloons will deflate faster than air-filled balloons due to its smaller molecular size.

If the weight of bucket filled with water is fifty kg and weight of the half filled water bucket is 30kg then what is the weight of the empty bucket?

To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of buoyancy. When the bucket is half-filled with water, the water exerts an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the water displaced. Since the weight of the half-filled bucket is 30kg, the weight of the water in the bucket is 30kg. This means the weight of the empty bucket is 20kg (50kg - 30kg = 20kg).

Why does a water flow from a filled bucket through a tube whose other end is open?

It is called a syphon tube and water will only flow if the tube is filled with water and the outflow end is lower in height than the water level in the bucket. It works by atmospheric pressure.

How many 200g bags can be filled from a 2kg bucket?

To determine how many 200g bags can be filled from a 2kg bucket, we first need to convert the weights to the same unit. Since there are 1000g in 1kg, a 2kg bucket is equivalent to 2000g. Dividing 2000g by 200g gives us 10, meaning you can fill 10 bags with 200g each from a 2kg bucket.
