What do you need?

Half gallon paper drain container (void and washed out)Awl or 10p nailMasking tapePair of scissorsPad of paper and pencil to make notes

Do this investigation over the sink.

What to do?

Cut off the highest point of the drain container.

From the base of the drain container, measure up 1/2 inch and utilizing the bit or 10p nail punch a solitary opening in the focal point of the side of the container

Measure up one inch from the base and punch another gap in the inside.

Measure up two creeps from the base and punch a third opening specifically over the other two gaps.

Measure up four creeps from the base and punch a last opening in the focal point of the side.

NOTE: All gaps ought to be the same size.Take a long bit of tape and tape up every one of the four of the holes.Put the container on the edge of the sink with the favor the gaps indicating the sink.Mark a line on the container close to the best. Continuously fill or refill the drain container with water to that line.Quickly expel the tape that is covering all the four openings. Watch what happens. Measure how far away every one of the steams hits the sink.Let all the water discharge out. Watch what occurs as the water level drops. The end result for the steams of water?Now tape up all openings. Set the container back on the sink edge. Refill the container and evacuate the base tape. Apportion how far the stream goes. Retape the gap, and untape the following gap up; measure how far away the stream goes. Refill the container with water. Retape the second opening and untape the third gap; measure how far away the stream goes. Refill the container with water to an indistinguishable level from previously. Retape the third gap and untape the fourth gap; measure how far away the stream goes.What you'll find!

How far away did the surges of water tumble from the container. Was there a distinction between the stream from the water from gap the base than at the best?

Here's the reason? Water has weight. The nearer to the base of the container, the more water is above and the more weight is pushing down from above. The more weight, the more water weight. What's more, the more water weight, the further away the stream will go and the quicker it will go.

Hydroelectric offices are worked at the base of dams to exploit the high weight of the water at the base of a supply. The water weight is piped through a passage through the dam called a penstock. The water at that point is focussed on the sharp edges of a turbine. Water weight of the water turns the turbine, and the turbine turns a generator making power.
