Water is not used as thermometric liquid. why?

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Yvette hangs a 2.4kg bird feeder in the middle of a rope tied between two trees. the feeder creates a tension of 480 n in each side of the the rope.
