How does the water pressure 1m below the surface of the small pond compare with the water pressure 1m below the surface of a huge lake?

The pressure at the same depth in any container doesn't depend on the size of
the container. The pressure one meter below the surface is the same in a pond,
a lake, a swimming pool, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or a bath-tub.

∙ 10y agoThe size of the water body has no effect on the pressures experienced at depth in any water body.
Thus at 1 meter depth in a large lake or in a pond the pressure is the same (1.1 bar).
Likewise at a depth of 2 meters in a large lake or small pond the pressures is the same in both at (1.2 bar).
Thus the water pressure at a depth of 1m in a large lake is less than the pressure at a depth of 2 m in a small pond.

The water pressure you experience depends on how much water is above you; the amount of water below you or around you has nothing to do with it. So you would have more pressure on you 2 meters below the surface of a pond as you would 1 meter below the surface of a large lake of water of the same density, which varies with salinity.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe pressure only depends on the depth and the density of the water. So it is in both cases 9810 Pa.

∙ 6y agothe pressure is the same if both are fresh water
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoThey are essentially the same. There may be small differences because of dissolved chemicals and such but nothing major.

Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
How will the pressure of an object change if its area is doubled?
It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.
What does smooth surface mean in friction?
It then presume the friction is very small and presume no friction. In fluid and piping, it mean any pressure drop term is due to fluid motion and dispersion alone.
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
What happen to the pressure of gas when the pipe is change from large to small diameter?
The pressure increases as the volume decreases, so when the pipe is changed from large to small, the pressure of the gas will increase.
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What is the difference between surface pressure and sea level pressure?
Surface pressure is simply the air pressure at ground level, anywhere on Earth. Sea level pressure is an adjustment made so that we can compare pressure at stations of different elevations. Sea level pressure is surface pressure if it were taken at sea level. Small differences in air pressure are important in meteorology, which is why we measure pressure precisely. The problem is that pressure is a function of elevation to first order, and weather differences to second. That's why it must be adjusted to be meaningful. Otherwise we would think that Denver, CO is always under an extreme low pressure system.
What kind of surface pressure is on mercury?
Mercury has a surface pressure that is near enough zero or a vacuum, since the planet holds no atmosphere due to its small size.
Why does it hurt a lot if you sit on a pin?
all the pressure and weight is on one point and the pressure is on a small surface area.
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
What is the system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area?
Hydraulic.
Why is the temperature warmer 1 mile below the surface?
The pressure created by the considerable weight of the 1 mile of crust creates heat. Even small movements create a huge amount of heat due to friction as particles "scrape" past each other with such pressure.
What is a hyraulic system?
A system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
What is the surface pressure of Ceres?
Due to its small size, Ceres only has the smallest trace of an atmosphere, so the pressure is very close to zero.
How will the pressure of an object change if its area is doubled?
It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.
What is the surface pressure of the Moon?
The surface pressure of the moon is 10E-7 Pa. Or in kPa 10E-10. (0.0000000001) This pressure is so small because the moon has virtually no atmosphere. Therefore very little pressure. (This can be contrasted to the average sea-level pressure of Earth at 101325 Pa or 101.325 kPa)
What is hydralics?
hydralic system- a system that multiplies force by transmitted pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
