What are the two quantities that should be measured to find the rate at which water flows out of a shower head?
Explain how the rate can be determined.
Thanks!
volume and time.
put a measuring cup there. Find out how much comes out in ten seconds. Convert that to gallons per minute or whatever.
To find the rate at which water flows out of a shower head, two quantities need to be measured: the volume of water and the time taken for that volume to flow.
First, you will need to have a container with a known volume, such as a measuring cup or a bucket. Place the container directly under the shower head, making sure it collects all the water that comes out.
Next, turn on the shower and let the water flow for a specific amount of time, let's say for 1 minute. During this time, the water will collect in the container.
After 1 minute, turn off the shower and measure the volume of water collected in the container. This can be done by reading the markings on the measuring cup or by transferring the water from the bucket into a measuring cylinder.
Now, you have the volume of water collected and the time it took to collect it. To determine the rate at which water flows out of the shower head, you need to divide the volume by the time. For example, if you collected 2 liters of water in 1 minute, the flow rate would be 2 liters per minute.
By following these steps, you can measure the rate of water flow from a shower head accurately.
