What is the total water pressure on a 600 cubic foot cylindrical vessel at 100 feet of depth in the ocean?

The water pressure depends only on the depth, not on the size or shape of the vessel. The pressure increases at about 1 atmosphere (or bar) every 10 meters.


How much water pressure can you get with gravity?

Depends on the height. You gain approximately 0.4 psi for every foot of elevation; so at 10 foot elevation you will have ~4 psi.


What is the pressure in pounds per square inch at a depth of 100 feet of seawater.?

Pressure in seawater at 100 feet is 44 psi. Or, .44 pounds per square inch per 1 foot. For Fresh water, it is .43 psi per foot.


How much pressure is in a water tank that is 180 feet and give your answer per square inch?

I presume you mean at a depth of 180 feet. Since the weight of a cubic foot of water is approximately 65 pounds, the weight of water on a square foot at that depth is 65 times 180, which is 11,700 pounds. That is the pressure per square foot. Since there are 12 x 12 or 144 square inches in a square foot, the pressure in pounds per square inch would be 11,700 divided by 144, or about 81. This is in addition to the barometric pressure, which is about 14 pounds per square inch, for a total of 95 psi.Answer 1It's not possible for a water tank to be 180 feet. One of its dimensions could be, however.Sadly, since we don't know which dimension it is, nor do we know the height ofthe tank or the depth of the water in it, nor do we know at what level or in whichdirection you want the pressure measured, there's no way at all to even begin towork on a solution to this question.


What are the Applications of pascal's law?

Applications * The underlying principle of the hydraulic press * Used for amplifying the force of the driver's foot in the braking system of most cars and trucks. * Used in artesian wells, water towers, and dams. * Scuba divers must understand this principle. At a depth of 10 meters under water, pressure is twice the atmospheric pressure at sea level, and increases by about 105 kPa for each increase of 10 m depth.

How can I use a cold water storage tank to increase my water pressure?

By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound


Can foot pain increase blood pressure?

Any kind of pain will usually increase blood pressure (temporarily). This is normal.


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.


How can you increase water pressure from a well?

Simply increase the height of the tank as the pressure is a constant (.434) times the height, or approximately 1/2 PSI per foot.


If a pressure reading is 20 psi what is the pressure in foot of water?

Water pressure at a depth of about 44 feet is about 20psi


Why do you stand in 1 foot you increase your pressure?

It's actually to do with surface area. One foot decreases your area, therefore all your weight (pressure) is on one foot. 2 feet would distribute the weight


Why is water pressure higher in deeper water?

Because of the weight of the water, the water pressure increases at a rate of 2.31 psi per foot of depth.


What is a 5 12 pitch roof?

That is the Pitch or slope of the roof. It means that in one foot of horizontal measure you will have 5" of rise .


How much does water pressure increase per vertical foot?

The pressure increase is dependent on density of the water. Pure water at 60F has about 27.78 inches of water column (INWC or INWG) per psi or approximately 0.43197 psi/ft. This is from memory; but it should be close. Fresh water: 0.43 psi per foot Sea water: 0.44 psi per foot. So, for each additional 10 feet of depth, figure about 4.3 to 4.4 psi increase in pressure. You can calculate this yourself by using the fact that fresh water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and sea water weighs about 64 pcf. Divide those numbers by 144 (the "footprint" of one cubic foot, 12 x 12) and there you go. It's interesting to note that this pressure is independent of volume or expanse. i.e. the water pressure behind a fresh water dam at 100 feet deep is about 43.3 psi regardless of whether the dam's reservoir is 25 miles long or 10 feet long. Depth and density are the only relevant parameters needed to determine pressure. Dive pressure, however, would be the water pressure of 43.3 plus the air pressure above the water. So the net pressure on your ears & body would be 43.3 plus 14.7 (one atmosphere)totalling 58 psi,or about 4 atmosphers. That's four times our normal experience. Worthy of careful consideration. Regarding diving - internal pressure inside ones body EQUALS the atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi). [Otherwise we would be squashed by the athmospere.] Therefore, the net result is still dependent on depth ONLY - in example given it would be around 2.95 atmospheres.

What will a cubic foot of water expand to when turning to ice?

Water has about a 4% rate of expansion when frozen. Therefore, one cubic foot of water would increase to about 1.04 cubic feet when frozen.
