How does height affect fluid pressure?

As the depth of a fluid column increases, the pressure at the bottom increases due to the weight of the additional material above.j3h.


What would the pressure be in a liquid contained in a vertical tube sealed at the top with a submerged open bottom be?

It would be the same as the pressure in the liquid outside the tube at the open end- the deeper it is in the liquid, the higher the 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.


Does height of water column depend upon pressure?

yes


What is the height of water column produces the same pressure as a 760mm high column of Mercury?

Atm


What is hydraulic height as it relates to a dam?

The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.


Why does the size of the cross-sectional area of a mercury barometer not affect the height of the enclose mercury column?

The height of the column in a mercury barometer is determined by pressure, not force. Fluid pressures depend on density and depth-pressure at the bottom of a wide column of mercury is no different than the pressure at the bottom of a narrow column of mercury of the same depth. The weight of fluid per area of contact is the same for each. Likewise with the surrounding air. Therefore barometers made with wide barometer tubes show the same height as barometers with narrow tubes of mercury.


How do you calculate area of column?

Surface Area = (Circumference)(Height)* Volume = ∏r2 x Height *If you want to include the top and the bottom in the surface area of the column you have to add the area of the top and bottom. So, the Total Surface Area = [(Circumference)(Height)] + 4(∏)(Radius2)


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).


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?


Why does the height of the liquid column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?

Pressure tendancies measure short term weather. The mercury in a barometer will rise with atmospheric pressure denoting fairer weather and a fall in barometric pressure warns of inclement weather.


What does a decrease in the height of a column in a mercury barometer mean?

air pressure is decreasing
