A column of water 2.31 ft high exerts a pressure of 1 pound per square inch how much pressure does a column of water 47 ft high exert?
Given that this stands out a mile as almost certainly a school homework question, to answer directly would be to make me complicit in cheating. So I will tell you how to calculate it, which would appear to be the point of the question: 1) The relationship between depth and pressure of water is linear. 2) If water X ft deep exerts a pressure of P lb/in2, then water of Y ft deep will obviously exert a pressure of P(Y/X) lbs/in2 Given thats information you can now solve the original question.
What is pressure force?
Pressure is defined as the following Pressure = force / area. So what this means is pressure is how much force is exerted over a area of given size. For examle a concrete slab is on the floor this slab has a width of 2m and a length of 2 m its area is 2 x 2 which gives 2m Squared. Its force it exerts is 1000 newtons ok what the hell does this mean? if you place this in the formula you will get pressure = 1000/4 Pressure = 250 newtons per square metre. I hope this answers you question on what pressure is.
How do you figure the area of a column?
Surface area of a cylinder (the column) = pi*diameter*height and measured in square units.

How does pressure change with altitude and why?
Air (atmosphere) goes up to only a few miles from the surface of the earth. Imagine a column of air as felt on the surface of the earth. Every square unit of area experiences the force exerted by this enormous column of air. As you travel upwards the column of air above from that point up is smaller and so exerts less force per unit area. Force per unit area is pressure and that is why the pressure decreases as we travel up. To give you something you can relate to easily, the pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool will be more than the pressure half way up from the bottom because in the first case a larger column of water exerts its weight whereas in the second case it exerts only half the weight.
What is the ratio of feet in the air to pounds per square inch of water pressure at use point for a gravity water system?
2.31 feet of water depth exerts a presssure of one pound per square inch. A column of water 10 ft high exerts 4.33 PSI (static pressure) To prove take 4.33 times it by 2.31 = 10.00 ft
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)
How many square feet is a room measuring 27feet by 13 feet?
351 sq feet or 39 sq yds
What is the ammount of pressure air exerts on one square inch of your body?
Assuming you are at sea level, the pressure will be about one atmosphere - or about one bar. (The pressure is the same for any area.)

When Force divided by the area over which the force is exerts pressure?
yes, force divided by area is pressure; its units are pounds per square inch, or newtons per square meter, for example. I you pull on an object with force over an area it is called stress
Why is pressure at a bottom of an ocean much greater?
First of all, pressure is defined as force per unit area. In the case of a lake, the main force acting upon an object in the lake would be gravity, among others. At the surface of the lake, the pressure on the object would be the force that the column of air above exerts on it, divided by the area that the force is acting upon. On the other hand, the pressure on the object at the bottom of a lake would be the force of the column of air PLUS the force of the lake water above, divided by the area that the force is acting upon. Therefore, the pressure must be greater at the bottom of the lake.
What is the weight of an object that has a base which is 3 cm on each side and which exerts a pressure of 21 Pa?
If the object is a square with sides of 3cm then the area is 0.0009 square metres.We assume the pressure was measured on Earth's surface.Weight (Newtons) = Pressure*area = (21 N/m2)*0.0009 m2 = 0.0189 Newtons.
