The pressure of water increases about 0.445 psi per foot of depth. If we "zero" our meter so we have "no" pressure at the surface (ignoring the normal 14.7 psi of air pressure at sea level), at 18 feet we will have 0.445 psi/ft times 18 feet, which is 8.01 psi, or right at about 8 psi.

What affects water pressure?
Water pressure can be affected by factors such as the elevation of the water source, the size and condition of the pipes, the number of users drawing water simultaneously, and any restrictions or blockages in the water flow. Additionally, issues with the water pump or pressure regulating equipment can also impact water pressure.
What is the expected pressure of air in lungs of a diver at 4 meters below the sea level?
Air pressure (at sea level) is about 1 bar; every 10 meters below the water surface, pressure increases by about 1 bar - that gives a total of 1 + 0.4 = 1.4 bar. (1 bar is about 1 atmosphere.)
Why is atmospheric pressure less at the top of the highest mountain than at the foot of the same mountain?
For the same reason that water pressure is less three feet below the surface than it is 30 feet below the surface. On the ground (on earth) we are at "the bottom of the pool" - the air is heaviest there.
What has more pressure on an object 260 feet depth of water or 35000 feet of altitude?
35000 feet of altitude exerts more pressure on an object compared to 260 feet of water depth. This is because the pressure exerted by the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases, while the pressure exerted by water increases as depth increases.
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
Is the force of the water on the piers the same at the water surface as it is 30m below the surface?
No, it would be less due to compression by weight of the surface area water. Every so many feet (meters) down, another "atmosphere" of pressure is exerted. Ergo, water at the seabed would exert more pressure on the pier than the water at the surface.
What integer represents 8 feet below the surface of the water?
The integer that represents 8 feet below the surface of the water is -8. In this context, depths below the surface are typically represented as negative values, indicating a position beneath the reference point of the surface. Therefore, 8 feet below corresponds to -8 feet.
What would happen to a balloon full of air if you moved it from above a water surface to ten feet below the water surface?
The balloon would shrink in size as the pressure increases with depth, causing the air inside to compress. If the balloon were to reach a depth of ten feet below the water surface, it would likely shrink significantly due to the increased pressure underwater.
What is the water pressure on a surface at 15 feet of depth?
About 21.4 psi
How does a loon use its feet for hunting?
The feet help propel a loon below the surface of the water.
What are the scuba diver is 31 feet below the surface of the water she dives down an additional 15 feet how far would she have to rise to reach the surface of the water?
16 Feet
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 is the water pressure at 2000 ft?
At a depth of 2000 feet below the surface of the water, the water pressure would be approximately 868.6 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by about 0.433 psi for every foot of depth due to the weight of the water above pushing down.
What is 3 miles below sea level?
3 miles below sea level is approximately 15,840 feet below the surface of the ocean. At that depth, the water pressure would be extremely high and the environment would be completely dark.
How many feet below the earth's surface is the water table in Houston Texas?
According to the USGS, the water table in Houston ranges between 10 and 30 feet below the surface. (See link below). An exception is in Katy, where it is more than 75 feet deep. From personal experience, the water table is about 14 feet below my property--about 1/4 mile from Oyster Creek in Sugar Land.
What affects water pressure?
Water pressure can be affected by factors such as the elevation of the water source, the size and condition of the pipes, the number of users drawing water simultaneously, and any restrictions or blockages in the water flow. Additionally, issues with the water pump or pressure regulating equipment can also impact water pressure.
What is the total pressure on a diver at 99 feet below the surface how many units?
At 99 feet below the surface, the total pressure on a diver can be calculated using the formula: total pressure = atmospheric pressure + (depth in feet × 0.433 psi/ft). The atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 14.7 psi. Thus, the total pressure at 99 feet is about 14.7 psi + (99 ft × 0.433 psi/ft) = approximately 14.7 psi + 42.8 psi = 57.5 psi. Therefore, the total pressure on a diver at that depth is approximately 57.5 psi.
