How much pressure is in a water tank that is 180 feet and give your answer per square inch?
I presume you mean at a depth of 180 feet. Since the weight of a cubic foot of water is approximately 65 pounds, the weight of water on a square foot at that depth is 65 times 180, which is 11,700 pounds. That is the pressure per square foot. Since there are 12 x 12 or 144 square inches in a square foot, the pressure in pounds per square inch would be 11,700 divided by 144, or about 81. This is in addition to the barometric pressure, which is about 14 pounds per square inch, for a total of 95 psi.Answer 1It's not possible for a water tank to be 180 feet. One of its dimensions could be, however.Sadly, since we don't know which dimension it is, nor do we know the height ofthe tank or the depth of the water in it, nor do we know at what level or in whichdirection you want the pressure measured, there's no way at all to even begin towork on a solution to this question.
What does bar mean on waterproof watch?
It's a unit of pressure. 1 bar = 14psi (pounds per square inch). Every 6 feet underwater you go, The pressure increases by 1 bar. Therefore - if your watch has (for example) 2 bar written on it, it's capable of taking the water pressure at a depth of 12 feet.
1 cubic meter covers an area of how many square meters to a depth of 150mm?
1 square meter. The depth is irrelevant in this question.
How do you measure square footage of sides of a pool?
Total square footage of the sides of a pool = perimeter*depth.If the depth is not uniform but has a constant gradient, then average depth can be used instead.For other depth profiles, the calculation becomes more complex.Total square footage of the sides of a pool = perimeter*depth.If the depth is not uniform but has a constant gradient, then average depth can be used instead.For other depth profiles, the calculation becomes more complex.Total square footage of the sides of a pool = perimeter*depth.If the depth is not uniform but has a constant gradient, then average depth can be used instead.For other depth profiles, the calculation becomes more complex.Total square footage of the sides of a pool = perimeter*depth.If the depth is not uniform but has a constant gradient, then average depth can be used instead.For other depth profiles, the calculation becomes more complex.
What does 10 meters of depth equal to how many atmosphere of pressure?
10 meters of water depth equals about 1 atmosphere.
What depth would the ocean pressure be 1000 pounds per square inch?
1440
What is the pressure of 5 meter depth under water?
About 22 pounds per square inch at 5m
At A 33-foot Depth Underwater The Pressure Is 29.55 Pounds Per Square Inch (psi). At A Depth Of 66 Feet The Pressure Reaches 44.4 Psi. At What Rate Is The Pressure Increasing?
Divide the difference in pressure by the difference in depth.
What is the outside pressure on a vessel at a water depth of 5500'?
At 5,500 feet down, the pressure on the vessel would be 2,458.71 pounds per square inch.
What is the water pressure at 3 kilometers?
At a depth of 3km, water pressure is 298.6 atmospheres (atm) or 4,388.37 pounds per square inch (psi)
How does pressure relate to depth?
Pressure = force / area, but > Force (weight) of water = mass * acceleration > Select a depth, choose an area the weight of water is acting on ( say 1 square inch ) calculate the force (weight) of the water column above that area (in pounds) Divide force by area = pressure (pounds per square inch (psi)) Dont forget to add atmospheric pressure (psi) to the answer.
What is the water pressure at 2.3 miles underwater?
5,411 pounds (2.7 tons) per square inch at a depth of 2.3 miles.

Can someone explain how to do this At A 33-foot Depth Underwater The Pressure Is 29.55 Pounds Per Square Inch (psi). At A Depth Of 66 Feet The Pressure Reaches 44.4 Psi. At What Rate Is The Pressure I?
The rate is (44.4 - 29.55) / 33 which is 14.85 psi/33 feet = 0.45 psi/ft
What pressure in pounds per square inch is equal to a depth of 120 millimetres of water?
Assuming the experiment is conducted at 1 atmosphere, sea level, then the ambient pressure is 14.7lbs/square inch. In water the pressure increases linearly by 1 atmosphere for every 33 feet of depth. So the pressure 120mm under water is (1 +(120 mm/33 feet)) x 14.7 lbs/square inch. About 15 PSI.
What is the relationship between ocean depth and pressure?
The pressure (force per cm2) at a particular depth is the weight of water above that square centimetre.
What does it mean when divers watches say they are 'pressurised to three atmospheres''?
An atmosphere is sometimes used as a unit of pressure, meaning approximately 15 pounds per square inch. When a diver descends, the weight of the water above him exerts pressure on his body. At a depth of approximately 32 feet, the weight of the water will amount to 15 pounds per square inch, or one additional atmosphere. So three atmospheres means the diver is experiencing 45 pounds per square inch on his body at a depth of about 64 feet.
