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 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 per square inch is on human foot when going down stairs?
You can't say 'pressure per square inch. It's just 'pressure', which equals force per square inch. You divide the person's weight by the area of the foot in contact with the stairs to get the answer.
How much water does a square foot hold?
A square foot is not going to hold any water, because it's flat. You need a cubic measurements for volume.
What is the weight of one inch of rain over one square foot?
One inch of rain over one square foot is 1/12 cubic foot of water. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. 1/12 of that is about 5.2 pounds.
Does air exert any pressure?
There is about 2 ton of air on every square foot of the Earth (less at high altitudes)
What is a pressure foot lifter?
A pressure foot is used to measure air pressure inside a tank. This means that every square foot of the tank, there is a pound of pressure.
Convert 120 mph to pounds per square foot?

If you stand on one foot you increase the pressure you exert on the ground because?
you have decreased the area over which the force is applied, and pressure is force per unit area
What is the water pressure per square centimeters or meter or ft or inch?
Water pressure can be any of these. The most common in the US is pounds per square inch. Countries which use kilograms and cm express it as kg per square cm. You would only use per square meter or square foot for very low pressures.
What would water pressure be from a 5500 gallon cistern 100 feet high?
The water pressure depends ONLY on the height, and the density of the liquid - not on the number of gallons. You basically calculate the weight of a vertical column of that height, and divide by the base area. The column can be of any cross section - for example a square centimeter, a square meter, or a square foot. (For water, the pressure is about 1 bar for every 10 meters.)
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

What is the weight of one square foot of water?
The weight of one square foot of water is zero pounds. A square foot is a measurement of area, not volume. Since a square foot has no height, it is not possible to fit even a single hydrogen atom inside a square foot. The weight of a cubic foot of water (a cube with each side equal to one foot) is about 62.42 pounds. The reason that I saw "about" is because the density of water changes according to its temperature, so that a cubic foot of water at 32 degrees Fahrenheit will weigh 62.42 pounds, but at 212 degrees Fahrenheit a cubic foot of water weighs 59.83 pounds.
How many vertical feet of water is equal to one pound per square inch?
A one foot liquid head of water will exert a force of 1.04167 psi. 27.7 inches of water = 1 psig... Mean and dirty 1foot=1/2psig
