What was the water pressure in the Atlantic Ocean when the Titanic sunk?
The Titanic sank in some two and a half miles of water. Water pressure is measured at 15 lbs per 30 feet of depth. My math isn't the best but I calculate that as about 6000lbs per square inch. At pressures even less than this, the human body is crushed to a pulp. I recall the case of a sea salvage operator working in only 500 feet of water when his air line was cut. The pressure forced his entire body into his helmet.
Is there a relationship between boiling and pressure?
Yes, there is. Higher pressure increases the boiling point and lower pressure decreases it. That is why a pressure cooker works and why water boils at lower temperatures in high altitudes.
How are evaporation and boiling similar and how are they different?
Evaporation is the act of producing water vapor. This can occur at any temperature or pressure. Boiling is the act of raising the temperature of water to the boiling point and maintaining it there. The boiling point of water is dependent upon the atmospheric pressure. Steam Generation is conducted within a closed pressure vessel, and is the act of vaporizing water into steam at a given pressure and temperature. Examples: Ice can shrink in size due to the evaporation of individual molecules of water into the air water can evaporate from a puddle into the atmosphere a pot on a stove can boil water for cooking, this also evaporates some water a steam generator evaporates water into steam for use in a heating system, the water is then condensed and returned to the generator
What is the relationship between osmosis and turgor pressure?
Water enters into plants by Osmosis and water causes turgor pressure Tugor definition= the state of turgidity and resulting rigidity of cells (or tissues), typically due to the absorption of fluid.
What are some similarities between traveling through air and traveling through water?
Both air pressure and water pressure are measured in pounds per square inch. {Or some similar label in different parts of the world.}

How do you calculate pressure in open channel?
You can calculate pressure based on Piezometers but without a measurement I don't know that it is possible. I would say you can calculate the pressure force by P=Z(bar)*gama(water)*Area(of the channel).
The temperature inside a pressure cooker is 117 C Calculate the vapor pressure of water inside the pressure cooker?
2.90
What is the relationship between pressure and distance in the ocean?
Water pressure can be calculated easily if you know the simple steps on how to calculate water pressure. Water pressure is also called as hydrostatic pressure and is calculated for the non-moving fluid. It can be calculated for any amount of large water body. You can easily calculate water pressure using simple equation.Formula for calculating water pressure:P = a + l × g × hIn the above formula,"P" is the water pressure"a" is the atmospheric pressure at the surface of water"l" is the density of water"g" is the gravitational acceleration"h" is the depth of waterTo calculate water pressure you need to know the depth of water, atmospheric pressure at the surface of water, density of water and gravitational acceleration.We generally use the standard values of gravitational acceleration (g) and density of water (l). Standard value of density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and standard value of earth's gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.Determine the depth at which you want to calculate the water pressure, substitute it in the place of "h" in the above formula.Determine the pressure at the surface of water. You need to use the barometer for measuring the pressure of water, substitute this in the place of "a" in the above formula. The pressure at the surface of water should be expressed in kg/ms2. You can use help of online sources to convert into desired units.Substitute all the measured values in the above equation and calculate the pressure of water.Multiply the result obtained by 0.014. This will convert the value in pounds per square inch.This is the calculated water pressure or hydrostatic pressure.Calculating water pressure in a pipe:Water pressure in a pipe is basically weight of the water above the point where you want to calculate the water pressure. To calculate water pressure within a pipe you need to know the vertical difference in the water level between the pipe and the water surface. This distance can be either vertical distance or horizontal distance, doesn't matter.Steps for calculating water pressure within a pipe:Step 1: Locate the nearest surface of water from where the water reaches your source. This surface can be anything from a water tower, water tank, lake or a sea.Step 2: Calculate the elevation of this water surface from your source. You need proper measuring instruments for this. If the water surface is a water tank, then you need to include the height of the tower in your calculation.Step 3: Find out the measurement of the elevation where your water source is located or the distance of the outlet of the pipe from the ground level.Step 4: If this pipe is located underground then subtract the distance of the pipe from the ground surface.Step 5: Finally subtract the measurement of the elevation of your pipe from the measured elevation of the water surface.Step 6: You will get the value of water pressure in feet head if you have measured the distances in feet or meter head if you have measured the distances in meter. This value needs to be converted into appropriate units of pressure.Step 7: Using online resources convert the above measured values into appropriate units of pressure by entering the values you calculated into the text boxes and clicking on the calculate button. As most of the online converters convert pounds square inches to the units of pressure, multiply the value in feet head by 0.433 and meter head in 1.4202 to convert them into PSI units.

How can you calculate pressure exerted on a body by water under gravity in water tank?
i think it is 1/2 x area of the body x depth of water
How can you calculate the vapour pressure of water over the solution at 90 degrees Celsius vapour pressure of water at 90 degrees Celsius is 525.8mmHg?
If this solution is a mixture you would use Henry's or Raoult's Law. If this is pure water then the answer is already in the question.
How to calculate the pressure in a water column?
F=ρ*g*h.where ρ is 1g per cubic cm for the pure water ,and the g is a constant number of gravity where the experiment takes place ,and the h is the distance from the point you calculate to the surface of the water.
How do scientist explain the formation of underwater mountain ranges?

How do you calculate the total pressure exerted on the base of a storage tank?
The Pressure is .434 times the height The FORCE takes a lot more calculations as the height and the weight of the water has to be calculated in plus the hydra-static pressure
How would one calculate the forces exerted by a given volume of water upon the faces of a rectangular box which it fills?
The pressure of the water varies as a function of depth. To calculate the pressure at a given depth take a column of water terminating in some area at the depth you want. For instance, take a 1 in^2 area that is 30 ft deep. The volume of water in this column is 360 cubic inches. Multiply this by the density of water to get the weight of the water in this column. That weight (the force due to gravity) divided by the area (taken to be 1 square inch) is equal to the pressure. Now that we can calculate the pressure as a function of depth, we can then find the pressure for a small horizontal band on the wall with an area equal to the a small increment of height times the width of the wall. This multiplied by the pressure gives the force on that small band. Sum up all the bands (or, really, integrate over the vertical axis) with the pressure calculated at each depth as outlined above.
What will the pressure be at the base of a 1 meter high column of water?
Assumptions:Density of water = 1000 kgm-3.Gravitational acceleration = 9.81 ms-2To calculate the pressure head of a 1 m depth of water, it is necessary to find the unit weight:Unit Weight = Density x gravityUnit Weight = 9810 Nm-3To calculate the pressure head at the base of the column of water:Pressure = Unit Weight x DepthPressure = 9810 x 1Pressure = 9810 PaThe resulting pressure is 9.81 kPa.
