- The effect of pressure on flow rate Set-up: For investigating the effect of pressure (height of a column of liquid), a 50-mL burette was used with a small length of rubber tubing fixed to the bottom on which a clamp could be fitted to start/stop the flow of water (Figure 1). Effluent was collected in a beaker and mean flow rate was calculated (mL/s), and a stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for 5 mL of liquid to flow out. For the subsequent sections of the practical, a 25-mL burette was used, and the top was connected via rubber tubing to a 5-liter reservoir placed on the shelving above the bench. The tubing at the base was connected to the different flow modules that comprised the different configurations of tubes to be tested. Interpret the graph.
