What are the two quantities that should be measured to find the rate at which water flows out of a shower head? Explain how the rate can be determined.

Question

campbell_st · Answer

cubic metres is a huge amount  it is equivalent to 1000 litres

so if the show was delivering 1 litre per second it would be 0.001l/sec

so imagine standing(if you could) under a shower that is delivering 1000 litres per second.... 

and cubic metres is a measure of volume... and I would have thought the flow of water is capacity.. so needs a liquid measure... say litres per second

hope it makes sense..

campbell_st · Answer

the capacity.... and time

so you might find how long it takes in seconds to fill a litre container... 

or measure how much water flows in 10 seconds by collecting it and measuring

then the flow rate  = litres/time      this will give a measure in litres/sec
