Predicting time for water to drain from cup

[SkiBum326]

Hey,

To start off, we are supposed to be able to predict how long it will take for water to drain from a specific cup. There are 2 variables in this, the height of the water in the cup (not volume), and the size of the hole in the bottom of the cup.

The data I collected appears to be incorrect and I don't no if ill have another chance to collect data. What I basically wanted to know is either a way to go about solving this problem, or if there was a formula for this.

Thanks

The rate of flow depends on the height of the water in the cup and the size of the hole in the bottom of the cup. But the time it will take for water to drain from a specific cup depends on the volume along with the other variables.

for your question! As a scientist, it is important to always have accurate and reliable data when conducting experiments. If the data you have collected appears to be incorrect, it is important to try to identify the source of the error and correct it if possible. If you are unable to collect more data, it may be helpful to consult with other scientists or experts in the field to see if there is a known formula or method for predicting the time it takes for water to drain from a cup. Additionally, it may be helpful to conduct further research on the topic to see if any studies or experiments have been done on this subject before. Good luck with your experiment!
