Does height of water column depend upon pressure?
yes
Why is the value of atmospheric pressure compared to mercury?
Atmospheric pressure will support a column of mercury to about 760 mm. Mercurial air pressure is described as '760 mmHg'. As air pressure changes , the height of this column will also change. If you did it with water, the column would have to be about 34 feet (10.2 metres) in height.
What is the relationship between water depth an pressure?
The depth of water is directly related to the pressure caused by it. It is caused by gravitational force on the amount of water column in the depth.
Water pressure as a function of depth and density?
p=(Rho)gh where p is pressure (Rho) is the density of water g is the force of gravity h is the height of the water column (depth)
How do submersible pumps work?
While it's easy to push on water, it's hard to pull on water. When you drink soda through a straw, you may feel like you're pulling on the water, but you're not. What you are actually doing is removing some air from the space inside the straw and above the water, so that the air pressure in that space drops below atmospheric pressure. The water column near the bottom of the straw then experiences a pressure imbalance: the usual atmospheric pressure below it and less-than-atmospheric pressure above it. That imbalance provides a modest upward force on the water column and pushes it up into your mouth. So far, so good. But if you make that straw longer, you'll need to suck harder. That's because as the column of water gets taller, it gets heavier. It needs a more severe pressure imbalance to push it upward and support it. By the time the straw and water column get to be about 40 feet tall, you'll need to suck every bit of air out from inside the straw because the pressure imbalance needed to support a 40-foot column of water is approximately one atmosphere of pressure. If the straw is taller than 40 feet, you're simply out of luck. Even if you remove all the air from within the straw, the atmospheric pressure of the water below the straw won't be able to push the water up the straw higher than about 40 feet. To get the water to rise higher in the straw, you'll need to install a pump at the bottom, or a submersible pump. The pump increases the water pressure there to more than 1 atmosphere, so that there is a bigger pressure imbalance available and therefore the possibility of supporting a taller column of water. The submersible pump can boost the water pressure well above atmospheric and thereby push the water to the surface despite the great height and weight of the water column. Multiple stage submersible pumps are arranged in series so that the discharge from the first stage becomes the intake for the next stage with each successive stage adding its pressure to the previous one. Surface suction pumps are really only practical for water that's a few feet below the surface; after that, deep pressure pumps are a much better idea.
What is a normal water pressure level for home?
A city water hookup should be around 60psi.
Why will a vacuum pump not work in a well that is more than 10 m deep?
The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well. That is only strong enough to support a column of water that is 10m tall.The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well.

What is the head loss of a 3 inch column of water at 60 psi and 60 feet?
For water, a 60 ft vertical change is equivalent to about 26 psi change. So if the pressure is 60psi at the bottom, it will be 34 psi at the top. See related link.
What is the pressure of 10 inches of water column?
10 inches of water column equals to how much gas pressure?
One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?
The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.
What is water column pressure?
it is where pressure increases and gets harder to travel through
How much does pressure does a one half inch diameter column of water exert at its base?
The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).
What is measured using a water column manometer?
A water column manometer measures pressure, such as the pressure output from a cpap unit used for sleep apnea.
Head pressure of water?
Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.
What is water pressur?
Are you asking hydrostatic (standing still) or if the water is under pressure such as the pressure at the base of a riser based on the height of the column of water?
How do you calculate water pressure at top if water pressure given at bottom?
Every 2.3077 feet of water in a column increases the water pressure at the bottom of the column by 1 pound per square inch.A 39 foot column of water with a pressure of 120 psi at the base will have a pressure exerted on its top surface of 103.1 psi.39 ft/ 2.3077 ft/1 psi = 16.9 psi ; 120 psi -16.9 psi = 103.1 psievery meter of water in a column increases the pressure at the base of the column by 0.1 kg./ sq. cm (or 1 kilopascal)A 12 meter column of water exerts a pressure at its base of 12 kPa. (or 1.2 kg/sq. cm)
What is the height of water column produces the same pressure as a 760mm high column of Mercury?
