Every 2.3077 feet of water in a column increases the water pressure at the bottom of the column by 1 pound per square inch.

A 39 foot column of water with a pressure of 120 psi at the base will have a pressure exerted on its top surface of 103.1 psi.

39 ft/ 2.3077 ft/1 psi = 16.9 psi ; 120 psi -16.9 psi = 103.1 psi

every meter of water in a column increases the pressure at the base of the column by 0.1 kg./ sq. cm (or 1 kilopascal)

A 12 meter column of water exerts a pressure at its base of 12 kPa. (or 1.2 kg/sq. cm)

Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?

There would be more pressure at the bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep. +++ To explain, the pressure is a function purely of depth, not volume.


A vessel water storage tank of height 12 meters is filled to a depth of 8 meters with water at density 1000kgm calculate the pressure at the bottom of the vessel?

approximately 0.8 bar


A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to height of 3.5 meters what is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank?

Pressure is given by the formula P = h * d * g Here h is the depth or height of surface right from bottom. Given as 3.5 m d = density of water i.e. 1000 kg/m^3 g = 9.8 m/s^2 You could plug and get the value of P at bottom in pascal

Does water pressure increases depth increases?

Yes, it does. The more you advance towards the bottom of the ocean, the more the water pressure increases. Which is why you implode before reaching the bottom.


How would one calculate the forces exerted by a given volume of water upon the faces of a rectangular box which it fills?

The pressure of the water varies as a function of depth. To calculate the pressure at a given depth take a column of water terminating in some area at the depth you want. For instance, take a 1 in^2 area that is 30 ft deep. The volume of water in this column is 360 cubic inches. Multiply this by the density of water to get the weight of the water in this column. That weight (the force due to gravity) divided by the area (taken to be 1 square inch) is equal to the pressure. Now that we can calculate the pressure as a function of depth, we can then find the pressure for a small horizontal band on the wall with an area equal to the a small increment of height times the width of the wall. This multiplied by the pressure gives the force on that small band. Sum up all the bands (or, really, integrate over the vertical axis) with the pressure calculated at each depth as outlined above.


Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?

What is the pressure in psi required to lift water 15 feet?

To calculate head pressure in psi from a head height given in feet you multiply by 0.434. 15 x 0.434 = 6.51 psi


How do you calculate pressure in open channel?

You can calculate pressure based on Piezometers but without a measurement I don't know that it is possible. I would say you can calculate the pressure force by P=Z(bar)*gama(water)*Area(of the channel).
