    Ball Fountain Physics: Understand Equilibrium & Water Force

    I am looking for any physics concepts that are involved with the weight of the ball being supported by the pressure of water. I decided to make one for myself. Here is all the information that I have for you. Weight of ball- 11.5 lbs Diameter of ball-8.270" Ring is perfectly is shaped to...

    Ball Fountain Physics: Understand Equilibrium & Water Force

    Hey! I have been looking over all these threads and have learned a lot. I was curious if anyone here could help me understand the physics of the ball fountain. I was thinking about the forces of the equilibrium with the weight of the granite ball and the water shooting up. I believe their is a...

    What is the required water pressure and flow for a ball fountain?

    ok so the width of the bottom of the ring is 5.5 inches. and the top of the ring is 7.5 inches. I need to know the psi and flow. the ball weighs roughly 11.5 lbs. does anyone know the answer to this problem? Thank you.

    What is the required water pressure and flow for a ball fountain?

    BALL FOUNTAIN--need help! Hi, my partner and I are doing a senior project and we are creating a ball fountain. A ball fountain is simply a perfect sphere sitting on a ring that's perfectly matched to the sphere with water shooting up from the bottom and the sphere can begin to spin. Now my...
