Best Answer

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.
