    An Olympic-size swimming pool holds over 2 acre-feet of water For larger volumes of liquid, one measure commonly used in the media in many countries is the Olympic-size swimming pool. [47] A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal).

    Both the 6204 and 6205 were fitted with the A260 movement. Neither model displayed a depth rating on the dial. The 6204 was originally rated to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet), but by 1954, Rolex certified the watch as waterproof to 200 meters (660 feet) in the accompanying catalog. The 6205 was depth rated to 100 meters (330 feet). [11]

    So, if there is a depth of 3 feet, the flow rate is ≈ 140 ft 3 /s Approximate the discharge using the derived discharge equation shown above (Equation 5). This equation was derived using the principles of specific energy and is only to serve as an estimate for the actual discharge of the Parshall flume.

    The guide number here (full power setting, ISO 100, and normal-angle coverage) is 37 for calculations made in meters (yellow arrow) and 120 for feet (orange). For instance, on the foot scale, f /4 × 30 ft = 120, as do both f /8 × 15 ft and f /16 × 7.5 ft. In meters, f /1.4 × 26 m = 37 as do f /22 × 1.7 m and every combination between.

    With high emissions it would instead accelerate further, and could rise by 1.0 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 3 ft) or even 1.6 m (5 + 1 ⁄ 3 ft) by 2100. [ 5 ] [ 3 ] : 1302 In the long run, sea level rise would amount to 2–3 m (7–10 ft) over the next 2000 years if warming stays to its current 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over the pre-industrial past.
