What is the pressure coming out of a 3 inch drain of a 8.5 feet wide and 16 feet tall water tank?
Brettclover
The pressure only depends on the height of water above the outlet. The width or
height of the tank make no difference. (The tank may very well be 16-ft tall, but if
the tank is empty, then the pressure at the drain is zero.)
If the water is 16-ft high above the outlet, then the pressure is "16-ft of water".
That pressure is also equivalent to:
-- 998.82 pounds per square foot
-- 0.499 ton per square foot
-- 6.94 pounds per square inch
-- 0.472 atmosphere
-- 14.12 inches of Mercury
-- 35.87 centimeters of mercury
-- 47.82 kilo-Pascals

What is the water pressure in psi at a depth of 300 feet?
At 300 feet of water depth the pressure is about 130 psi
What is the water pressure at 13000 feet under water?
The pressure is 394 atm.
What is the atmosphere pressure at fifty feet in water?
50 feet of water is about 1.475 atmospheres.
If a pressure reading is 20 psi what is the pressure in foot of water?
Water pressure at a depth of about 44 feet is about 20psi
What are the different types of pressure feet?
water for example.absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure
Why do Hot water run very slow cold water good?
The water pressure when one turns on the hot water is lacking because the water is coming from one's water heater, which is at the same level as the faucet, whereas the pressure from the cold valve is coming directly from one's town's water tower, which is at a much greater elevation. Also, the water heater tank is only a few feet high, whereas the water holding cell in a water tower is several feet high. The potential energy of the water tower far exceeds that of one's hot water heater, thus the cold water flows out of the faucet with much more pressure.
What is the psi at 5400 feet under water?
At 5,400 feet of water depth the pressure is about 2,341.1 psi
How much pressure is in 328 feet of water?
If it is fresh water, and the surface is at sea level, then the pressure at the surface is 14.69 psi. As you submerge, then the pressure from the weight of the water above you is added to the air pressure above the water. For each foot that you descend, the water pressure will increase by 0.4331 psi, so at 328 feet deep, the water pressure is 142.0568 psi. Add the 14.69 psi air pressure to get 156.7468 psi.
What has more pressure on an object 260 feet depth of water or 35000 feet of altitude?
The 260 feet of water: at that depth, there is the weight of the water and the atmosphere on top of it.
How high a column of water will a water pressure of 60psi support?
172.3 feet
What is the water pressure of the ocean at 500 feet?
About 240 psi at 500 feet of depth.
What would the water pressure be at 20 feet?
20 bar of pressure is about 200 ft.
