To raise water 1 foot vertically, you need approximately 0.433 pounds per square inch (psi) of water pressure. This means that for every additional foot of height, the pressure increases by about 0.433 psi. Therefore, to elevate water to various heights, you can multiply the height in feet by this value to find the required pressure in psi.

How much water would it take to raise the water level on earth by one foot?

Raising the water level on Earth by one foot would require approximately 356,000 cubic kilometers of water.


How much pressure is needed to raise water one foot?

This question is misguided. You don't need pressure, you need energy. Energy = work done = mass of water x g (acceleration due to gravity) x height raised. Pressure = force/area over which it is applied (e.g. the cross section of the water pipe.) So the pressure needed is given by P = mgh/area Be sure your value of g is in the right units for your mass and height measurements. Differential air pressure will be shown by raising the water level in, for example, a U shaped tube, where differentail pressure is applied between the two arms. Yes, to move the water, energy is used. BTW, energy equals force (weight) times distance, but you are not lifting all the water by one foot.

How much does a cubic foot of water whey?

A cubic foot of water weighs approximately 62.4 pounds. This is based on the density of water, which is about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot at standard temperature and pressure. Therefore, if you're referring to just water, it would weigh this amount.


How much pressure is in one fathom of water?

One fathom of water exerts a pressure of approximately 64 pounds per square foot, which is equivalent to 1.42 pounds per square inch.


How much water pressure can you get with gravity?

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 much pressure is in 328 feet of water?

If it is fresh water, and the surface is at sea level, then the pressure at the surface is 14.69 psi. As you submerge, then the pressure from the weight of the water above you is added to the air pressure above the water. For each foot that you descend, the water pressure will increase by 0.4331 psi, so at 328 feet deep, the water pressure is 142.0568 psi. Add the 14.69 psi air pressure to get 156.7468 psi.
