Water level Definition and 79 Threads

This is what I thought was a simple task, but it's causing me headaches. I have a conical steel tank with approximately 14 liters of fluid capacity. I need to determine the volume of water in the tank when in use, and we are currently planning to measure the pressure at the bottom of the tank...

Hi all, I have a challenge with solving a simple question: Will water exit the flare I have a vertical pipe (40 meter with diameter of 1100mm) with the following connetions: - At the bottom: bend reducer to 514mm and approx. 100 meter length - At the top: 750mm pipe that goes up another 30...

I was asked this question: Assume you're sitting in a boat (you and the boat, together, are a mass M) which also contains a heavy object (of mass m). The boat (inc. you and the heavy object) is floating in a pond (a fixed body of water, rather than open sea). If you throw the object overboard...

What are we missing in this experiment? Thanks

Firstly I'm having trouble understanding what water level means. I tried a quick google search and got the following: " water level(Noun) The level of a body of water, especially when measured above a datum line. " That doesn't help me. Is water level the distance from the base to where the...

I want to build a cheap, portable water level recorder so I can record the "seiche" on my lake (and other lakes). I don't want to use fancy components like Arduino boards. And I want it to be portable (and cheap enough that losing it to water, weather or thieves won't be a heartbreak.) There's...

(The picture below is my drawing. I followed the instructions of the problems and drew for reasons of clarity.) Let me start by writing down the given details : Volume of drum ##V_D = 0.05 m^3##, mass of drum ##m_D = 5 kg##, height of water column (initially) ##h_W = 1 m##, base area of water...

Hello all, I need Your help with one real / theoretical situation. We have submerged pipe filled with air at atmospheric pressure that is closed on both ends. The hole is formed on one pipeline end and the water starts flooding the pipe. Let's assume pipe is tilted somewhat and that no air...

Hello, I have made a capacitive water level sensor. It is a parallel plate capacitor. While measuring the capacitance of my sensor, I measure 53 pF. I then leave it for couple of minutes, still conected to the meter, capacitance then rises to 54 pF. Capacitance is slowly increasing. Why is...

Summary: Two plates side by side, not parallel to each other. Hello everyone, Purpose of this capacitor is to detect changes in water level. It is constructed of a single copper plated pcb on which middle I have made a 1 mm of space separating now two copper plates on a single pcb. So, plates...

if I have a pool that is 20x20 surface area and I put a 200 gallon block of ice it, the water level will go up by X amount. when it melts how much will the water level change?

HI All, Has anyone experienced strange behavior with capacitive level sensor? They fail (not detecting fluid) at certain point and after leaving them alone for couple of days start working?

Is there any difference in accuracy with using a resivoir vs just the tube? I want to acurately level the torque boxes on my car on jackstands so i can make frame measurements. Thanks

I feel so stupid, intuitively, when we were having this discussion I wanted to say that the level stays the same but when we were discussing with the person beside us, my partner said it would fall because water expands when it freezes, so when it melts, there'll be less displacement, so the...

At the outset I am a novice in physics. i have constructed a rain water storing tank with a capicity of 1,20,000 litres. I propose to seal the tank so that there is no light penetrating inside the tank. My question now is how do I measure how many feet of water is left inside the tank? Can...

I have a 1968 Mustang that I bought at auction from my grandfather's estate it is almost completely apart and I want to rebuild it for him has sadly he ran out of time, I have a reproduction manual from 1968 with frame dimensions in it and some of the dimensions car vertical to a datum line. I...

I am currently working on something and I would like to know something. When we connect two tanks and we have water flowing into Tank 1. Is it possible to make a connection between Tank 1 and Tank 2 so the water level in Tank 2 is higher than water level in Tank 1?

When an ice melts on water, which was initially floating on it, the water level must get increased. Why it remains unchanged??

Hello all. I am trying to find a sensor (probably switch is a better word) that will output a HIGH or LOW depending if the water (say, in a tank) has reached a certain level. I first googled: pressure sensor, then pressure switch. I also stumbled upon water level sensors, and now I am kind of...

Consider a floating ice cube in a glass of water. I know that the weight of the ice cube is equal to the weight of the water displaced. This would mean that if the ice cube melted, the volume of water melted would be less than the volume of the ice cube, because ice has a lower density than...
