The pressure is ONLY dependent on the height of the water column, not on its exact shape (for instance, whether it is narrower or wider towards the top). The water pressure is approximately 1 atmosphere (or 1 bar) for every 10 meters. For other liquids, use appropriate conversion factors, depending on the density of the liquid.

How do you figure out PSI at the bottom of a vertical pipe filled with water?
Measure the height of the pipe, in inches. Then the pressure at the bottom is approx 14.7 + 0.036*H PSI.
How do you calculate how many gallons of water are in a pool?
measure length x width x height. this will give cubic feet. find out how many cubic feet a gallon of water is and divide it into your measurments. this will give ya cubic feet of water
How do you calculate the total pressure exerted on the base of a storage tank?
The Pressure is .434 times the height The FORCE takes a lot more calculations as the height and the weight of the water has to be calculated in plus the hydra-static pressure
If volume is measured in cubic units how might we calculate the volume of an object?
Volume is length*width*height in cubic units. If this is not possible then when an object is immersed in water the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object which was discovered by Archimedes.
How does water pressure work?
Water pressure works based on the difference of altitudes or height. The height of the tank determines the amount of pressure that the water supply will have.
What is the height of a cubic foot of water?
1 foot
How to calculate the pressure in a water column?
F=ρ*g*h.where ρ is 1g per cubic cm for the pure water ,and the g is a constant number of gravity where the experiment takes place ,and the h is the distance from the point you calculate to the surface of the water.
How many gallons of water per square foot are there in a water tank?
> Best work with cubic feet, first calculate the volume of the tank in cubic feet: = Length * width * height (all dimensions in feet) Then : For US gallons, multiply volume (cubic feet) by 7.4805 For UK gallons, multiply volume (cubic feet) by 6.2288
A vessel water storage tank of height 12 meters is filled to a depth of 8 meters with water at density 1000kgm calculate the pressure at the bottom of the vessel?
approximately 0.8 bar
How would one calculate the forces exerted by a given volume of water upon the faces of a rectangular box which it fills?
The pressure of the water varies as a function of depth. To calculate the pressure at a given depth take a column of water terminating in some area at the depth you want. For instance, take a 1 in^2 area that is 30 ft deep. The volume of water in this column is 360 cubic inches. Multiply this by the density of water to get the weight of the water in this column. That weight (the force due to gravity) divided by the area (taken to be 1 square inch) is equal to the pressure. Now that we can calculate the pressure as a function of depth, we can then find the pressure for a small horizontal band on the wall with an area equal to the a small increment of height times the width of the wall. This multiplied by the pressure gives the force on that small band. Sum up all the bands (or, really, integrate over the vertical axis) with the pressure calculated at each depth as outlined above.
What is water pressur?
Are you asking hydrostatic (standing still) or if the water is under pressure such as the pressure at the base of a riser based on the height of the column of water?
How can one Calculate the PSI of water in river based off velocity of the river?
You can't... Pressure is influenced by many other factors, temperature and density for example... Also the height is a factor (atmospheric pressure)
