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.

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).
How do you convert mass to pressure?
mass / area although technically it should be weight (or force) / area for example: imperial an object with a mass of 1.5 lb and an area of 2 square inches will exert a pressure of 0.75 pounds per square inch (psi) metric an object with a mass of 1.5 kg and an area of 0.5 square metres will exert a pressure of 3 kg/m2 (or 3 N/m2 or 3 Pa)

What kind of pressure does a column of air exert on the air or surface below it?
A column of air exerts atmospheric pressure on the air or surface below it. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the lower air or surface.
Why water exerts pressure?
The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.
Can water exert pressure on a submarine?
Yes, water exerts pressure on the hull of the submarine.
Why water exerts downward pressure?
The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.
How many pounds per square inch does ice exert in a pipe?
Ice exerts a pressure of around 35,000 to 40,000 pounds per square inch in a pipe. This pressure is due to the expansion of water when it freezes, causing the ice to exert a significant force on the walls of the pipe.
Why does a pointed heal shoe exert less pressure?
Sorry - it exerts more pressure than a flt heel.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
How many psi equals 1 water column?
You need to know how high the water column is to calculate the pressure it exerts at its base! For example, a column of water 1 metre deep would exert a pressure of 9.81 kPa at its base (density x gravity x depth - 1000 * 9.81 * 1). This would be equal to approx 1.42 PSI.
How much pressure would an ordinary human who is standing exert on the ground?
An ordinary human standing exerts a pressure equivalent to the body weight divided by the area in contact with the ground. On average, this pressure is about 10-15 pounds per square inch (psi).
