How many millimeters of water can you pour into a bowl?
Depends on the bowl size.
Two of water might fill a fish bowl?
Two litres of water might fill a fish bowl.
What can you use to measure the volume of a rock?
The best way would be to use the ancient Archemedean way: take a bowl or similar object that can fully contain the rock in question. Put the bowl in a large pan. Fill the bowl completely with water, all the way up to the very rim. Now, submerge the rock completely in the bowl, so that it is entirely underwater. Water will spilled out of the bowl into the pan. Remove the bowl from the pan, and pour the water from the pan into a measuring cup - the volume of that water is the volume of the rock.
How to solve using trig. Water in a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 40 cm begins to pour out when the bowl is tilted through an angle of 35 degrees How deep is the water in the bowl?
As the bowl is hemispherical in share, tilting it does not change the shape of the water, and so its depth remains the same. When the bowl has been tilted 35o, the distance the lip of the bowl has been lowered can be found using the Sine ratio. This can be subtracted from the height the lip was above the bottom the the bowl (namely the radius of the bowl) to find how deep the water is. The angle is 35o. The hypotenuse is the radius of the bowl. The opposite side is the unknown drop. sine 35o = drop/20 cm ⇒ drop = 20cm x sine 35o ≈ 11.47 cm height = radius - drop ≈ 20 cm - 11.47 cm = 8.53 cm
How many acre feet would fill the Rose Bowl?
Since the Rose Bowl could hold approximately 84,375,000 gallons of water (if it were sealed) according to the Rose Bowl's website (http://www.rosebowlstadium.com/RoseBowl_general-info.htm), that equals about 259 acre-feet of water.
Does the water in a toilet is flushed spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?
No, the water in a toilet does not spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the flush system, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. In a toilet, the water is flushed by a flushing mechanism. This flushing mechanism is usually activated by pushing a lever or pushing a button, and it causes water to be released from the tank into the bowl. The shape of the toilet bowl, as well as the type of flushing mechanism, determines how the water will move once it enters the bowl. When the toilet is flushed, the water quickly fills the bowl and then begins to swirl around. The force of the swirling water will cause it to push against the sides of the bowl and create a whirlpool effect. As the water circles around the bowl, the shape of the bowl determines the direction in which the water will spin. The water will usually spin in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the type of flushing mechanism, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. The shape of the bowl and the type of flush system will determine the direction in which the water will spin, regardless of which hemisphere the toilet is located in.
Which country invented the toilet bowl?
The flushing toilet was invented by John Harrington in 1596. he was English so the toilet bowl was invented in England.
How do you define a toilet?
A toilet is a structure consisting of a bowl and tank with a flushing device used for human urination and defecation.
Where did Alexander cumming invent the flush toilet?
He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.
Toilet installed in basement after flushing water in bowl fills but then slowly drains out. There are no leaks and tank is full and seemingly works fine. Need to know how to vent or is it simpler?
A toilet bowl which slowly empties itself after filling indicates either a downstream stoppage or a defective bowl.
When you flush your toilet the water rises in the bowl and the stuff doesn't flush away What is wrong?
The main drain is plugged. You may need to remove the toilet and snake directly down the drain.
What should you do if there is not much water in your toilet bowl and you tried flushing it again and the plunger isn't working?
Time to give up and call a plumber to clean your drain line.
If the toilet tank completely empties does that give the toilet more flushing power?
It will flush longer, but not with more power. The bowl empties when it reaches a certain level.
Why would an American Standard Cadet Series toilet drain it's water from the bowl?
I have heard that sometimes certain toilets under certain conditions can cause siphoning of water from the bowl of other toilets. Of course, that would require you to have two toilets on premises. If so, check the Cadet water level before and after flushing the non-Cadet toilet. Good Luck
How big is the toilet bowl water slide?
2" or 3" integral trap built into toilet bowl.
What is cause of water seeping out of toilet bowl overnight but floor is not wet?
This is caused by negative pressure in the drainage/sewer system which can suck the water out from the toilet bowl. To prevent this from happening you must fit an Air Admittance Valve or AAV close to the toilet but above the overflow height of any nearby wash hand basin. The AAV allows air to enter the drainage system to neutralize negative pressure caused by flushing a toilet or letting the water out of the bath etc.
How do you plunge a toilet?
Shove the plunger into the toilet and go to town. The key is to get a seal between the plunger and the toilet bowl around the exit area. This is what will hopefully allow you to 'move' the water and shift whatever is blocking the pipes. It helps to have enough "water" in the toilet to cover the plunger base. This may involve taking the scary risk of flushing the toilet, but without enough liquid in the toilet, you're apt to make a big splash.
