overherebc Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 44 minutes ago, ravip said: The correct answer is 5 The outlet that is lowest in the reciever cup that is lowest will start draining first, that's on the 4 side in both cases. If the first reciever is considered to start as and remain full to the top then syphon effects may take place ( not sure exactly how ) that would depend on the very minor pressure differences between the top and the various outlets, and change the outward flow from the top. On a slow fill where the level never reaches the top outlet then it will drain to the 4 side at the same rate as the fill. So my answer would be it depends on how quickly the top reciever is filled/topped up. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 This is kind of a 'trick' diagram. If you look very carefully at the path the liquid would take, you will see that all are blocked at some point except the path to the cup 5. Hence, the positions or levels are immaterial.
