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.
