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.
