Which tank will fill up first?

[Jordan26]

Lets see how fast you answer 😊

G is not the correct answer

How many agreed with F and many think its K?

[Naydyonov]

F,
Water goes from A to B to C to J, now while the tube to I is lower the water level will have to reach a higher height In J so the water will reach the middle of J when it starts flowing to L.
From L it will fill the tube as it can't escape to H, it will instead flow into F and continue to do so as the water level on L is higher so the water can't reach the top until F is filled up.

EASYMODE mate 😎

[Jordan26]

Big No

[Kapakani]

Yeah I realized it was F agile back after a second look lol.

[JiminsHoe]

The tank F will fill up first. D, E & G will never fill up because the input pipe for D is blocked. So C will start filling J. I will only start filling up if & when J fills up, before which L will start filling up. The water from L flows into pipes leading to F & H, but H won’t fill up because it’s input pipe is blocked

[Jordan26]

Why not K?

[JiminsHoe]

Because water does not rise. Once it goes to B, then to C, and then to J, sure, the first pipe it would reach would be I, but water moves downwards, it does not defy gravity, so before it could even start filling into I, it would fill into L, and since from there H is blocked, F.

[Jordan26]

Bravo 😊

[JiminsHoe]

Thanks ^^

[Jordan26]

Beauty with brain 😍
Really impressed by ur answer

[hasrett]

@JiminsHoe Actually the water can move upwards if there's enough force that's pushing it there. Have you ever seen how does the pipe under your sink look?
F's still the right answer though, but not because of the gravity, but because the pipe that fills I is positioned higher than the pipe that starts filling L.

[JiminsHoe]

Technically speaking, the picture says nothing about a force though. Sure, if there were a force, then yes, water can be moved if you simply blow on it with air

[hasrett]

There's force caused by gravity.

[hasrett]

earth's acceleration*

[JiminsHoe]

Gravity is a downward force..

[Jordan26]

Two geniuses discussing something and I am thinking what to say

[JiminsHoe]

But technically speaking gravity pulls towards the earth, towards matter. Gravity cannot lift water.

[hasrett]

I'm not saying it's the primary cause, but that's what would create preassure in the pipe and the tank. And the difference in the preassure makes the water go up.

[hasrett]

@Jordan26 Tbh, I asked my sister, she's studying physics. 😂

[lord_chilled]

@hasrett true i was thinking about that as i had seen water move uo higher in narrower pipes compared to the level in a tank.

If due to this, the water ends up flowing into I before the water level in J reaches the level of the pipe where it can flow to L , there is the chance that K would be filled first. Its still a bit of a stretch tough, and we can't tell unless we know the exact dimensions and volumes of the pipes and the tanks.

[JiminsHoe]

The water can't get high enough to even fill I though. It will never fill I.
And unfortunately, that would never work, as it would be a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, and would violate the first law of thermodynamics.
Now, if you are only hoping to briefly drive water to a higher elevation than you started, then that's quite likely possible with your system. Absent large amounts of friction in the pipe, if you start with it empty and fill it up from the lower end, the water will be moving fairly quickly once the leading edge had returned to the height of the entrance, and the momentum of the moving water would likely drive some of the water up out the upper end. However, inevitably the water flow would slow, stop, and reverse until the level equalized.
Its more about engineering than it is physics

[hasrett]

Well, it's been a few years since I've studied physics so tbh I'm not sure anymore if I understand correctly what you're saying, but it doesn't seem different from what I was saying?

[lord_chilled]

Well, ill trust your opinion then @JiminsHoe (funny name 😂). I used to be weak at physics (not because of lack of understanding, but more due to generally being a slacker and not bothering to learn)

[JiminsHoe]

I dead ass hate the sciences and I'm more into history (particularly ancient history), art, English, you get the gist, so I have no idea why I even have this knowledge, it was always a harder class and now that I'm in ap physics still is, so its why I study harder and just retain it /know more, its quite boring so I feel you on the slacking thing, lmfao.

[lord_chilled]

Lol, wouldn't recommend slacking ,,
This knowledge maybe useful , depending on what you wanna learn/do in the future.

[Cccgala]

Water will fill up Tank F first. Pipes to Tank D and Tank H are blocked. Movement of water from Tank A to Tank F is uniformly downward, in contrast to the pipe connecting Tank J and Tank I that prompts an upward flow of water.

[Jordan26]

WOW 😲

[HateYourCellphone]

Same conclusion I came to wondering how long it took you. I was under a minute but didn't time myself.

[LegateLanius]

F. I was going to originally say K, but the water would need to rise up in J first and that would give F the advantage

[Therisinghero1]

Depends on the rate of flow, fast enough to not all go through the pipe at once and its A, slow enough and its G.

[HamAndCheese]

I'm inclined to say F.

[Jordan26]

Super fast

[Nandor]

G... I know that its right

[disgustingweebtrash]

Look again

[Nandor]

What

[disgustingweebtrash]

[Nandor]

Well fuck but then its just a prank not even a real question bruh that killed the whole thing

[Nandor]

It would be if that shit wasn't there. Non of them will be full because the tanks dont have sides on the front or back so f you

[Jordan26]

Relaxed and calm down

[Jordan26]

Why not K?

[Nandor]

Because H will be full first

[Nandor]

Fuck h have that shit too

[Nandor]

What is the point of this if its all a prank

[Princess-alexandra]

I'm guessing G!

[Jordan26]

Don't guess

[Princess-alexandra]

lol I said guess bc I'm not absolutely sure but it's not a random choice

[Jordan26]

Well G is not correct 😊

[Jordan26]

Princess Alexandria are u really Queen 😂😂?

[Princess-alexandra]

Loooll I realized how dumb I was now. It's F

[Jordan26]

Finally right answer

[vishna]

I say F.

[Andrewjsch]

C to D to G

[Andrewjsch]

Oh nevermind I was fooled!

[Andrewjsch]

Looks like F my bad!

[Jordan26]

@Andrewjsch How water passes from C to D?

[Andrewjsch]

I corrected myself above

[InquisitiveGurl13]

I think G

[Jordan26]

Nope 😂

[InquisitiveGurl13]

Then A

[InquisitiveGurl13]

It's F

[Jordan26]

Thanks God 😂😂
Finally right answer
I really appreciate your efforts 😊 you didn't give up 👏👏👏👏

[InquisitiveGurl13]

I didn't see the walls blocking. I just looked quickly

[hasrett]

Not even gonna try.

[Jordan26]

Don't give up sweety 😊

[Keenisha]

I think G

[Jordan26]

Oops sorry

[Keenisha]

Then H!

[Jordan26]

Look again closely H is blocked 😂😂

[Keenisha]

Oh ya huh. K looks too complicated. I don't see how it's F

[Adam_INTJ]

G for sure

[Jordan26]

Have to work again 😊

[Adam_INTJ]

Dude, unless the water flow is faster than the rate of drain through that first tube, it's gonna be G.

[Jordan26]

Please check again D is blocked
Water can't flow from C to D 😁

[mosquitoMan]

A M1 abrams tank or a Russian t34

[Tiffanylamb]

Both I and j

[Tiffanylamb]

Hi like the pic

[Jordan26]

Which pic?

[Tiffanylamb]

Profile

[Jordan26]

Oh I see thanks but its not my real pic

[Tiffanylamb]

What is your real pic

[reptocarl]

I’m gonna say F

[Averca13]

K will fill up first

[Canadaman99]

How?

[Chaz269]

Tank F

[lord_chilled]

F, almost answered g, lol

[Surpeeme]

It's F

[mosquitoMan]

It all of them

[Surpeeme]

No. They won't all fill up at the same time

[JiminsHoe]

Its none of them, *mind-blown*

[irrationally97]

G will fill up first

[owens97]

stuff that

G g g g

F sorry
