How do you use pressure to find leak?
If you are looking for a leak, and you can build up the pressure inside the thing, there are two ways you can find the leak pretty effectively. You can either submerge the object under water (if it won't damage the object), and look for bubbles rising through the water from the leak. This is very effective for finding leaks in inner tubes and tires, for instance. If the object can't be submerged underwater for some reason, then apply a little soapy water to the areas that you suspect the leak to be. If you see soap bubbles growing, that is where the leak is!
If drops of water leak from a water faucet and the drops get further apart how can you explain this occurrence?
whats the answer?
Can a leaky faucet leak10 quarts in 8 hours?
Sure. No problem. It's a relatively fast leak, but it's only 2/3 of an ounce per minute.
A carpenter is sailing on a ship and the ship springs a leak He measures the hole and it us exacly 12 inches square The only piece of wood he has was 9 inches by 16 inches He thinks about it and cut?
He will have to make 3 cuts to the 9 by 16 piece of wood which will give him a 9 by 12 piece and 3 pieces of 3 by 4 which will fit exactly into the 12 by 12 hole.
Why would water pressure in the whole house suddenly drop Can't find an obvious leak anywhere.?
A leak probably wouldn't cause a "sudden" drop in pressure. It sounds more like the system has more users than it can supply and pressure drops when someone else turns on their shower or flushes their toilet.
