Best Answer

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).

One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?

The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.


A column of water 2.31 feet high exerts a pressure of one pound per square inch How much pressure does a column of water 27feet 9inches exert?

How does the diameter of a column of water affect the pressure at the bottom of the column?

The pressure at the bottom of a column of water depends on the height of the column, not its diameter. The pressure increases with increasing depth due to the weight of the water above. So, a taller column will result in higher pressure at the bottom.


A column of water 2.31 feet high exerts a pressure of one pound per square inch How much pressure does a column of water 46.20 feet high exert?

20 pounds per sq/in


Head pressure of water?

Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.


WC on gas line stand for?

"WC" on a gas line typically stands for "water column," which is a unit of measurement used to express pressure in a gas system. It represents the height of a column of water that would exert the same pressure as the gas being measured.


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.


Which will exert more pressure river water or same amount of sea water?

Sea water will exert more pressure than river water due to its higher density. The pressure exerted by a fluid is directly proportional to its density, so sea water, being more dense than river water, will exert a greater pressure.


What will be the Water column Head in kg for 6 meter height and 8 meter dia tank?

Water column head is expressed either as the height of the column ... 6 meters here ... or else as the pressure at the bottom ... 58.842 kPa here. 'Kg' can't be a unit of water column head, and the diameter of the column is irrelevant.


Can water exert pressure on a submarine?

Does pure water exert an osmotic pressure?
