Complete question: Will flow ever reverse or stop if we increase resistance in this pipe scenario? There are 2 comunicating vessels. The highest vessel is coninuosly alimented with new water. Water in excess flows down on the sides. Water will try to reach the same height in both vessels, so...

Hi. Most water towers store their water in a huge container at their top. Why? Wouldn't it be easier to place the container at the bottom and just add a long, thin pipe upwards to create the hydrostatic pressure? Is the problem that the container would need to endure too much pressure? Or that...

When designing the structure of an elevated water tube ride (water flows by gravity through a tube large enough to accommodate 2 people on a float, say 500 lb. max. and the volume of water is constant) how much effect does the object floating on the water have?

How does the relative permitivity and relative permeability related to the refractive index of a dielectic medium like water?

I've read several papers that talk about electrons in water, clearly they don't last very long as they react quickly with the oxygen. But I'm confused about the terminology they use, some call them solvated electrons, some hydrated electrons and others aquated electrons. I can't seem to find a...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution My understanding is that while sucking , the pressure inside the straw decreases .Atmospheric pressure on the water surface pushes the water down such that it rises in the straw, into the mouth . I don't understand how there...

I have looked everywhere, but most of the sources say water is not produced (which is not true), and some sources, such as my biology textbook, simply say it is produced. I know for every 6CO2 put into the Calvin cycle, 6 oxygen atoms are put into 2*G3P. Where do the other 6 leave the Calvin...

I recently made a flashlight/ laser pointer that can charge my phone, and I was wondering as to how I could make it resistant to the rain while allowing the top to be removable to switch out the batteries and make repairs. I also plan on making it attach to my arm like a gauntlet. So how could I...

Alright... Here's one I encountered today. Suppose the water reservoir holds 100 million gallons of water and supplies a city with 1 million gallons a day. The reservoir is partly refilled by a spring which provides 0.9 million gallons a day and the rest of the water, 0.1 million gallons a...

Hi everyone. I was testing the pH of water that had alka seltzer placed in it. I used Bromothymol blue indicator to see the pH. The color changed to yellow, which suggests that the water was now acidic. I assume this is because of the CO2 bubbles that form which can acidify the H2O. Am I...

Basically what I'm trying to do is calculate the amount of water it would take to generate a given pressure at the water tap. Or to put it more simply I'm trying to figure out where the water line is damaged, well more for fun then actually being practical. The water system is simply a well on...
