How many raindrops fall on 1 acre if 1 inch rainfall was to fall?

There are far too many variables to say. The answer to this will be relative to your location, and you would need to take some measurements in your local area. The best way to calculate this would be to take a sample (say 1 foot square) and multiply your results by the number of square feet in one acre. A suggested means would be to use a rain gauge with a 1 foot square funnel, to measure total rain fallen on the area. then you would need to ascertain the drop size. I would use a sheet of tissue paper, weigh it, then allow it to be hit by a single drop of average size, and then re-weigh. 1 gram will equal 1 milliliter, and thus you can work out how many drops by dividing your total water in your sample area. You may want to use a normal rain gauge in addition to this in order to get an accurate idea of when you achieve a 1 inch rainfall.

What is width and length of one third of an acre?
First of all, why do you assume that the acre is rectangular? An acre can be circular of octagonal or a completely irregular shape. Next, even if you are told that the shape is rectangular, there is no way to distinguish between a near-square shape and a long thin shape. One third of an acre = 14520 sq ft. So it could be 120 ft x 121 ft or 1 foot x 14520 ft or 1 ft * 2.75 miles or 1 inch x 174242 ft or 1 inch x 33 miles etc
How many square yards are there in one acre?
1 acre = 4,840 square yards1 chain = 22 yards 1 sq chain = 22 times 22 sq yd = 484 sq yd1 acre = 10 sq chains = 4,840 square yardsAnother way to figure it outFirst, keep in mind that an acre is a unit of area, whereas the inch, foot, yard, rod, chain, and mileare all units of length. (Never say, "square acre," because there is no such thing as an acre. The acre is already a unit of area.) Second, there are 640 acres to the square mile, so if you know how many square yards are contained in a square mile, then you can easily figure out the answer you seek using simple division.One mile equals 1760 yards, so a square mile equals 1760 yards times 1760 yards, which is 3,097,600 square yards. Now, divide that number by 640 and you get 4,840 square yards per acre.1 acre = 4,840.0021 square yards1 acre = 4840 square yards1 acre = 4840 sq yards4840
The national debt is approaching 10 Trillion dollars If you had an acre of land of 100 dollar bills equal to your national debt how high in would your money be?
Given that it takes about 10 bills to make a square foot and an acre of land is 43,560 square feet. So individual 100 dollar bills on an acre would total 43,560,000. (1000x43,560). 10 trillion divided by 43,560,000 equals 229,568. Given that a stack of 100 bills equals one half of an inch and 229,568 stacks would give you 2295.68 halves of an inch. 2295.68 divided by 24 would give you the amount of feet=approx 96 feet
What is the length and width of an acre of land in meters?
An acre is any area that measures 4840 squareyards which is approximately 4046.86 square meters.So a rectangle 1 meter wide and about 4046.86 meters long is one acre;a rectangle 2 meters wide and about 2023.43 meters long is also one acre;a rectangle 10 meters wide and about 404.69 meters long is also one acre.An acre of 4840 sq yds is also calculable as a rectangle 22yds wide by 220yds long, which would be one chain wide and one furlong long - it is most likely that this was the rectangle that was originally used to define the acre.In meters one chain by one furlong would be 20.1168 meters wide by 201.168 meters long.(1 inch is defined to be exactly 2.54cm.)
