heheh yeah i was hoping someone would tell me what the formula or relationship is though, as I'm not a physics major, do recall doing this kind problem in general physics though.maverick280857 said:
oh... i guess I'm wroing, I've always thought with the larger surface area on 1 side and a small surface area on the other, water on the smaller side will rise to a higher level due to pressure downward on the other side with the larger surface area..russ_watters said:

The surface area of water can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the water body. For example, if the length of a pool is 10 meters and the width is 5 meters, the surface area of the water would be 50 square meters.
The formula for calculating the volume of water is length x width x height. For example, if a water tank has a length of 5 meters, width of 3 meters, and height of 2 meters, the volume of the water in the tank would be 30 cubic meters.
To calculate the surface area of irregularly shaped bodies of water, you can use a mathematical technique called integration. This involves dividing the shape into smaller, simpler shapes and calculating their surface areas. The sum of all the smaller surface areas will give you the total surface area of the water body.
The surface area of water is usually measured in square meters or square feet, while the volume of water is measured in cubic meters or cubic feet. In some cases, smaller units such as centimeters or inches may also be used.
The accuracy of the calculations depends on the accuracy of the measurements and the chosen formula. If the measurements are precise and the formula used is appropriate for the shape of the water body, the calculations can be very accurate. However, they may not be completely accurate due to factors such as evaporation or the presence of waves.
