Its the height of the tower, not the size that determines pressure.
One gallon of pure water weighs 8.345 pounds.
== == Two possible problems............... The main shut off valve in the house is closed from the in-coming city water supply line, or the city supply line is shut off at the street .
Depends if it an ASME rated tank or a garbage residential as the wall thickness and pressure rating has to do with the weight
1 gallon = 4 quarts 1 quart = 0.25 gallon
The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.34 pounds at 17 degrees Celsius. At different temperatures, the weight will be different. This is in Imperial measurements, where an Imperial gallon is equal to 4.54609 liters.
Gallon
Water pressure in real towers is created by the height of the tower above the surface of the earth, and the diameter of the pipe supplying the water to the output. The same should hold true for a model water tower.
Water pressure works based on the difference of altitudes or height. The height of the tank determines the amount of pressure that the water supply will have.
to store water where the there is a need for it ie a site of low water pressure so when there is high demand the pressure can be kept
Water pressure is naturally created by having the source of water at an elevation higher than the destination. Spring water can be collected at a higher elevation and piped to a house at a lower elevation to provide running water - with reasonable pressure - no pump required. A water tower is "artificial elevation" to provide water pressure for home or a neighborhood. A very general rule of thumb is the higher the tower the higher the water pressure at the tap.

Same as a regular toilet.
-- fill the 8 from the unlimited supply -- fill the 5 from the 8 -- The 8 now has (8 - 5) = 3 gallons in it.
no
it only depends on pressure at which the water flows into the gallon
10 pounds of water (molten ice) = 1 imperial gallon. (at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature).
Because the cost per gallon is so high, it makes it uneconomical.
