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.

How can you calculate pressure exerted on a body by water under gravity in water tank?
i think it is 1/2 x area of the body x depth of water
What is the formula for absolute pressure?
but i think the absolute pressure is P(pressure)/{p(density)*g(gravity)}
20 cm of water equals how much pressure in kilopascals?
20 cm of water is about 1.96 kPa.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
How much does pressure does a one half inch diameter column of water exert at its base?
The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).
Does gravity increase water pressure?
No
Why should water reservoir be built higher than the roof?
So that you will have water pressure from gravity.
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
Gravity also makes water move. What makes water move?
Air pressure or water pressure makes water move.
Can you feed a hot water tank with a gravity fed water tank?
Yes, you will only have as much pressure as you do with the cold side, probably slightly less.
How does gravity affect the oceans?
Gravity will tend to pull the water down the "hill" or pile of water against the pressure gradient.
What moves water besides currents and electric charge?
gravity, water pressure, air pressure, buckets, etc.
Why water exerts pressure?
The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.
Which fundamental force to pressure in both water and the atmosphere?
gravity
How much preasser is gravity?
The pressure of gravity on a surface is(total force of gravity on the surface) divided by (area of the surface)
Why water exerts downward pressure?
The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.
Is gas gravity the same as specific gravity?
There is indeed a relationship between gravity and atmospheric pressure. Gravity attracts matter with mass, in this case gas. The atmosphere being a layer of gas, the stronger the gravity, the higher it's pressure. I if you seal gas in a tank, and increase its mass (by adding more gas) the pressure will increase. Now imagine that the tank is the earth, and gravity is exerting a down force on the gas... It's like water. Although it can't be compressed, water exerts pressure because of gravity; the deeper you go the higher the pressure. Now imagine the atmosphere pressure on Jupiter....
