How do you precisely measure 6 liters of water if you only have one 4 liter bucket and one 9 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?

you use the 4 litre bucket to feel the 9 litre bucket then empty the 9 when it is full till you end up with 6 in it as follows
you put 2 buckets of 4 into 9
then 1 litre from 4 to fill 9 then empty 9
put remaining 3 into 9
put 4 more in
then 2 to fill 9 and empty
put remaining 2 in
then 4 more
giving you 6 litres

Take the 9l bucket filled to capacity and use it to fill the 4l bucket twice leaving you with 1l remaining in the 9l bucket. Next, pour that 1l into the 4l bucket. Fill the 9l to capacity again. Using the 9l bucket fill the 4l bucket to capacity leaving you with 6l total in the 9l bucket.

What is a cubic second?
A cubic second is a second cubed. In other words, it is a second multiplied by a second multiplied by another second. It is the unit whose reciprocal represents a quantity to describe a steady increase in acceleration of some unitless measurement such as angle. In other words, 1/s3 represents a steady increase in the rate of steady increase of the rate of steady increase of some unitless quantity such as angle. An example of when this would be effective is a situation wherein a machine is built to spin a propeller, and it has just been activated and is warming up at a constant rate; the torque on the propeller is steadily increasing, and so, therefore, is its angular acceleration. There would exist a radian measure n such that n/s^3 describes how fast the angular acceleration is growing and by extent how fast the machine is warming up.

Walking at a steady rate Mary walked 11 miles in 3 hours Write a mixed number that shows how many miles she walked each hour?
If, as you have alleged, her rate was truly steady over the entire durationof her exercise, then she covered 32/3 miles in any 60-minute period.
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 6 liter bucket and one 9 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
you don't
How do you precisely measure 5 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 7 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
1. fill up the 7 litre bucket. 2. from the 7 Litre bucket, fill up the 3 lt. bucket, so now you have 3 and 4. 3. throw away the 3 litres you´ve got, then from the 7 litre bucket, (where you have four litres of water left) pour 3 into the 3 litre bucket. Now you have 3 and 1. 4. throw away the 3 litres again, and pour the 1 litre left in the 7 litre bucket into the 3 litre bucket. Now you have 1 and 0. 5. fill up the 7 litre bucket, then from it, pour 2 litres into the one that had 1 litre. Now you have 3 and 5. 6. finally, throw away the 3 litres and there you have 5 litres left.
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
== == == == Fill the 3l and dump into 5l. Fill 3l again pour into 5l til full, you now have 1l left in 3 l container. dump 5 onto ground, pour the 1l from the 3l container into the 5l, then fill 3l and dump into the 5l....Presto exactly 4 liters are contained in the 5l container. ALTERNATIVELY (i) Fill the 5l and then fill 3l from 5l. This leaves 2l in the 5l. (ii) Empty 3l (iii) Pour the 2l from the 5l into the 3l. This leaves 1l of spare capacity in the 3l. (iv) Fill the 5l again (v) Fill the 3l from the 5l. This leaves 4l in the 5l.ALTERNATE 2:If flow is steady, time may be used to help. Take amount of time it takes to fill 5 liter bucket, divide by 5 then multiply by 4. Answer will be how long you must let the water flow into the 5 liter bucket to fill it upto 4 liters.
How to measure 7 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
Fill the 5 litre bottle. Use the 5 L bottle to fill the 3 L bottle. Pour out the water from the 3 L bottle. Pour the last 2L from the 5 L bottle into the 3 L bottle Now fill the 5 L bottle from the tap. 5L + 2L = 7L.

How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 6 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
Assuming that the flow of water is truly steady and one has an accurate timing device (and they are capable of perfect timing), they can fill the three, measuring the time it takes to fill. Dump the three into the six and then begin filling the three again but for 1/3 the time it took to fill in the first place. Dump that remaining amount into the six and one ends up with 4 liters. Really, even a clock will not provide accuracy since there will always be human error in measurement. Without any timing device, there is no precise way to measure 4 liters of water with only 3- and 6-liter buckets because there is no way to get a precise difference that is not divisible by three. This question is usually asked with three- and five-liter buckets. In this case, one fills the three with water, and pours that water into the five. Then they fill the three again and pour into the five until the five is full, leaving the three with one. The water is then dumped from the five and the remaining water in the three is dumped into the five (leaving the five with one). The three is then filled again and dumped into the five, leaving exactly four liters in the five.
What instruments measure rheological properties?
Instruments that measure rheological properties are called Rheometers. They impose specific deformation to the fluid and monitor the results. The two operating modes include steady and oscillator flow.
