As always, we're going to ignore air resistance, and treat the question purely with

the math of free fall under the influence of gravity near the earth's surface.

The general equation for the free fall distance in time 'T' is: D=1/2 G T2 .

In this case, D=1 inch or 1/12th foot. 'G' is the acceleration of gravity = 32.2 ft/sec2 .

1/12 = 1/2 (32.2) T2

T2 = 1/(6 x 32.2) = 1/193.2

T = 71.9 milliseconds (rounded)

What causes your water pressure to drop significantly when more than one faucet is used?

This problem lies with your pipe sizes. If the pipes size of your main line does not equal the supply for demand this will result in the current problem. For example, if your whole house is fed with half inch piping and you open two taps the volume of water has to be shared from the half inch pipe, thus causing a drop in pressure. Whereas if one installed three quarter inch main line "t-ing" off to half inch, because the three quarter inch will hold a higher volume of water when two taps are opened and the water shared, the drop in pressure will be hardly noticeable.

What should the gradient fall be when installing rainwater guttering?

When installing rainwater guttering, the recommended gradient fall is typically about 1:500, which translates to a drop of approximately 1 inch for every 40 feet of gutter. This slight slope ensures that water flows towards the downspouts effectively, preventing standing water and reducing the risk of overflow. It's important to maintain this gradient consistently along the length of the gutter for optimal drainage.

If all the water vapor in the atmosphere were to condense and fall to the ground the globe would be covered with about how much water?

If all the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere were to condense and fall to the ground, it would cover the globe with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. This would equate to approximately 1/25th of an inch (1 mm) if evenly distributed over the entire surface of the Earth.


WHAT IS THE DROP FOR YOUR HOUSE GUTTER?

The drop for a house gutter typically refers to the slope or pitch that allows water to flow toward the downspouts. A common guideline is a drop of about 1/4 inch for every 10 feet of gutter length. This slope ensures proper drainage and prevents water from pooling in the gutters. However, the exact drop may vary based on local building codes and specific site conditions.
