How do you find the pressure of water at a depth?
We begin by solving the equation P = hρg for depth h: h=Pρg h = P ρ g . Then we take P to be 1.00 atm and ρ to be the density of the water that creates the pressure.
How much does water pressure increase with depth?
The pressure increases about one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth. At a depth of 5,000 meters the pressure will be approximately 500 atmospheres or 500 times greater than the pressure at sea level. That’s a lot of pressure.
What is the pressure at 20 feet of water?
Depth and hydrostatic pressure.
| Height of Water Column | Pressure | |
|---|---|---|
| (m) | (ft) | (psi) |
| 16 | 52.5 | 22.8 |
| 18 | 59.0 | 25.6 |
| 20 | 65.6 | 28.5 |
What is the pressure at 10 feet of water?
.433 4.33 pounds per square inch
Ten feet of water would exert a pressure of 10 X . 433 4.33 pounds per square inch. The same relation of height to pressure holds true, no matter what the area of vertical liquid column.
What is the pressure at 11km underwater?
What is the water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench which is 11.3 km deep? The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is a crushing eight tons per square inch—or about a thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level.
What is the pressure at 36000 feet deep?
The crushing water pressure on the floor of the trench is more than 8 tons per square inch (703 kilograms per square meter).
What is the water pressure at 3000 feet?
What is the water pressure at 3000m?
| Depth (meters/feet) | Fresh Water (1000 kg/m3) |
|---|---|
| 610 meters (2,000 feet) | 6.1 MPa 881.7 PSI |
| 914.4 meters (3,000 feet) | 9.1 MPa 1,314.4 PSI |
| 1,219.2 meters (4,000 feet) | 12 MPa 1,747.6 PSI |
| 1,525 meters (5,000 feet) | 15MPa 2,182.3 PSI |
What is the water pressure at 800 feet?
EXAMPLE (Imperial)
| Depth (meters/feet) | Fresh Water (1000 kg/m3) | Sea Water (1030 kg/m3) |
|---|---|---|
| 244 meters (800 feet) | 2.5 MPa 361.5 PSI | 2.6 MPa 371.9 PSI |
| 274.5 meters (900 feet) | 2.8 MPa 404.9 PSI | 2.9 MPa 416.6 PSI |
| 305 meters (1,000 feet) | 3.1 MPa 448.2 PSI | 3.2 MPa 461.2 PSI |
| 366 meters (1,200 feet) | 3.7 MPa 534.9 PSI | 3.8 MPa 550.5 PSI |
What is 1 foot of water in PSI?
Feet of water to Pounds per square inch
| 1 Feet of water = 0.4335 Pounds per square inch | 10 Feet of water = 4.3352 Pounds per square inch |
|---|---|
| 2 Feet of water = 0.867 Pounds per square inch | 20 Feet of water = 8.6703 Pounds per square inch |
What is the water pressure at 33 feet?
29.4 pounds per square inch
It only takes a 1 inch column of sea water 33 feet tall to weigh 14.7 pounds. This means that at a depth of 33 feet deep in the ocean, there is a total pressure of 29.4 pounds per square inch (psi). This would be 2 ATMs of pressure.
What is the water pressure at 700 feet?
EXAMPLE (Imperial)
| Depth (meters/feet) | Fresh Water (1000 kg/m3) |
|---|---|
| 152.5 meters (500 feet) | 1.6 MPa 231.5 PSI |
| 183 meters (600 feet) | 1.9 MPa 274.8 PSI |
| 213.5 meters (700 feet) Tang/Nautilus/Barbel | 2.2 MPa 318.2 PSI |
| 244 meters (800 feet) | 2.5 MPa 361.5 PSI |
