What is the relationship between water depth and pressure?

Answer 1

Pressure and depth are related in that pressure is proportional to depth. The equation to find pressure at a certain depth is p=dgh, where p is the pressure, d is the density, g is the acceleration of gravity and h is the depth.

Answer 2

Pressure increases with depth.

The formula for pressure is

P=ρ*g*h+Pa

where

ρ (the Greek letter Rho) is the density of the fluid,

g is the acceleration of gravity,

h is the depth from the fluid surface and

Pa is the pressure at the surface of the fluid.

every foot a diver decends you get about 1/2 lb. of pressure. So at 100 foot divide the pressure by 2 and that's approximately the pressure. At sea level the pressure is 14.7 psi. Go down to 33 feet and you have another 14.7 psi. In fresh water it's 34 feet to get 1 atmosphere.

Answer 3

The greater the depth in a given body of water, the greater the pressure. Water pressure is measured in atmospheres for the purposes of depth. At sea level, water is at one ATM. At 33 feet, 2atm. At 66 feet, 3 ATM and so on every 33 feet accounting for 1 ATM.

As the name implies, an "atmosphere" is the amount of pressure exerted on the surface of an object by the natural atmosphere of the earth at sea level.

Answer 4

As water depth increases, the pressure exerted by the water also increases. This is due to the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. Pressure increases at a rate of about 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth.

Answer 5

Pressure= height*density*accn due to gravity

so for water at constant accn due to gravity pressure is diarectly propotional to height ( height means height of water column)

Answer 6

Water pressure increases as depth increases.

Answer 7

Liquid Pressure = Density x Gravity x Depth

Answer 8

Pressure increases linearly with depth. For example, in the ocean, ever 10 meters the pressure increases by 1 bar. How fast pressure increases, however, depends on the liquid's density.
