Two lakes of equal depth are dammed on lake backs up 15km and the other backs up 30km What is the difference in pressure on the dams?

This question is set up to trick you. You don't need to know how much water surrounds the dam, because it is irrelevant. Assuming the atmospheric pressure is the same for both dams, depth is the only factor that affects fluid pressure. It's simply evaluating your knowledge of basic hydrostatic principles.
So, for any depth, these two lakes have no difference in pressure.

Two dams form artificial lakes of equal depth. however one lake backs up 15 km behind the dam and the other backs up 30 km behind. what effect does the difference in length have on the pressure on the?
Careful! This is a tricky question. When we're talking about the pressure on the dam, we only really care about the depth of the lakes, not their lengths. The answer is that the length of the lakes makes no difference on the pressure exerted on the dam. Thanks Mr. Sacks!
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
Relationship between liquid pressure and depth?
The greater the depth, the greater the pressure.
What is Dependence of pressure on the depth?
At greater depth, the pressure increases, due to the weight of the liquid above.
What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure

What is the difference between liquid pressure and depth?
Liquid pressure depends on depth. It can be calculated from liquid density times depth.

the pressure from the two will be the same
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.
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
How does water pressure vary with depth?
Water pressure increases as depth increases.
Relationship between liquid pressure and depth?
The greater the depth, the greater the pressure.
Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
What is Dependence of pressure on the depth?
At greater depth, the pressure increases, due to the weight of the liquid above.
What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
What is the pressure in Bar at 10 mts sea depth.?
10 m depth is 2 bar pressure.
