Nice post! :)

Wow crador, you are incredibly good at breaking down physics problems and explaining them. Are you by chance a teacher? If not, you should be; you are really good at it! I understand now that with the faucet not turned on all the way, it itself is restricting the flow such that the pressure...

crador, you are a true genius! (For me a true genius can take complex issues and break them down so that even a layperson can understand them.) So ρ is the density of water, huh? Who knew? Theodoros, thanks for the equations! They now become useful to me now that crador has explained them...

T Thanks crador for your reply! I found it to be very informative. Thanks for explaining that the energy density has gone into velocity (a transference of energy, right?) I didn't seem to have a problem in understanding intuitively how pressure could be the same as energy density, but I...

Whoahoa! Theodoros, thank you for taking time out to respond to my post, but I need things in layman's terms here. I have no idea what all the variables in your formulas represent (nor in what units for that matter), nor would I have the faintest idea as to how to add a friction coefficient to...

Wow, thanks for the response! It certainly sounds like you know what you are doing. Unfortunately, my knowing little to nothing about physics implies my complete ignorance of the many formulas and principles involved. So letting me know that I can use Bernoulli's principle to calculate...

Hello Everyone, I am brand new to this forum and know basically nothing about physics, but I am hoping there is someone in these forums that could help a layperson obtain a comprehensible answer to a question that is simply above his head. I have a home whose water pressure averages between...
