'Hydrostatic Pressure' is the Term used for 'the force exerted by a body of fluid at rest. The pressure increases with increase in depth.

There are two ways to Calculate water (clean water) pressure at any depth (both yields almost same results):

1. The Hydrostatic pressure of water is 0.433 Psi/ft (Pounds per square inch Per feet). So at 5000 feet, the pressure is: 0.433 Psi/ft. * 5000 ft = 2165 Psi

another way to go about it is:

2. Water pressure increases at 14.7 psi every 34 feet depth. Thus Pressure at 5000 ft will be: (5000 ft / 34 ft) * 14.7 psi = 2162 Psi.

What is the melting point of water at 5000 meters?

The melting point of water at 5000 meters is slightly higher than at sea level due to the lower atmospheric pressure. At this altitude, water will freeze at around 0.2 degrees Celsius.


What is the temperature at 5000 feet below sea level?

What is the water pressure at 5000 feet deep in the gulf?

Average density of seawater is 1.025, so pressure gradient is approximately 0.444 psi/ft as sea level. At bottom, the pressure is approximately 2235 psia or slightly higher, perhaps 2300 psia.


Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea level than at the top of a mountain 5000 m above sea level?

Atmospheric pressure is a measure of the amount of air pressing down on the earth. This would be highest at the surface of the earth. At 5000 meters, there are 5000 meters of air below you, so that is considerably less air.


What is the Water pressure at 5000 feet depth?

The water pressure at 5000 feet depth is approximately 2200 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by 0.44 psi for every foot of depth.


What is the freezing point of water at an altitude of 5000 meters?

The freezing point of water at an altitude of 5000 meters is lower than at sea level due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. The freezing point can be estimated to be around 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius lower at this altitude.


Why is it different at 5000 feet to boil water?

The atmospheric pressure is lower. When you are boiling the water, the water's vapour saturation pressure is able to match the atmospheric pressure faster therefore it boils faster and at a lower temperature.

Water preesur at 5000 feet deep?

At 5000 feet deep, the water pressure would be approximately 2200 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by about 14.7 psi for every 33 feet of depth due to the weight of the overlying water column. This high pressure makes it challenging for humans to dive to such depths without specialized equipment.


What is the freezing point of water at 5000 meters in celcius?

Do you mean 5,000 meters of altitude or 5,000 m depth (pressure?)


What is the water pressure at 5000 feet deep sea water?

The pressure at that depth is 2,167.6 pounds per square inch.I assume you mean a depth of 5000 feet in the ocean, say about the depth of leaky oil wells? If that's the case, when you see the oil coming out as fast as water out of a garden hose, it is pushing against that one ton per square inch pressure at the same time. If that leak was on the surface of the ocean instead of so far down, it probably would be squirting out at supersonic speed.
