The pressure increase is dependent on density of the water. Pure water at 60F has about 27.78 inches of water column (INWC or INWG) per psi or approximately 0.43197 psi/ft. This is from memory; but it should be close.
Fresh water: 0.43 psi per foot Sea water: 0.44 psi per foot.
So, for each additional 10 feet of depth, figure about 4.3 to 4.4 psi increase in pressure.
You can calculate this yourself by using the fact that fresh water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and sea water weighs about 64 pcf. Divide those numbers by 144 (the "footprint" of one cubic foot, 12 x 12) and there you go.
It's interesting to note that this pressure is independent of volume or expanse. i.e. the water pressure behind a fresh water dam at 100 feet deep is about 43.3 psi regardless of whether the dam's reservoir is 25 miles long or 10 feet long. Depth and density are the only relevant parameters needed to determine pressure.
Dive pressure, however, would be the water pressure of 43.3 plus the air pressure above the water. So the net pressure on your ears & body would be 43.3 plus 14.7 (one atmosphere)totalling 58 psi,or about 4 atmosphers. That's four times our normal experience. Worthy of careful consideration.
Regarding diving - internal pressure inside ones body EQUALS the atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi). [Otherwise we would be squashed by the athmospere.]
Therefore, the net result is still dependent on depth ONLY - in example given it would be around 2.95 atmospheres.
By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound
Every foot of water (i.e. foot of head) equals 2.31 psi (i.e. pounds per square inch).answerI think that first answer is backwards. It takes 2.31 vertical feet of pipe to create 1# of pressure. Stated another way, one foot vertical equals roughly .434 psi. When a plumber tests the underground with a ten-foot stack, approximately 5 pounds pressure is applied. That is why some codes allow a 5 pound air test in lieu of water in cold weather and in other situations where it is more practical.
For every vertical foot of pipe, take that and multiply it by .434.This equation will get within 1/2 -1/4 psi.
Any kind of pain will usually increase blood pressure (temporarily). This is normal.
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.
When standing on one foot, your weight is concentrated on a smaller surface area, leading to an increase in pressure on that one foot. This increased pressure helps to stabilize your body and maintain balance while standing on one foot.
Simply increase the height of the tank as the pressure is a constant (.434) times the height, or approximately 1/2 PSI per foot.
Water pressure at a depth of about 44 feet is about 20psi

Heeled shoes can increase pressure on the front of the foot by pushing body weight forward. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and potential foot problems such as bunions or plantar fasciitis. The higher the heel, the greater the pressure on the front of the foot.
The water pressure depends ONLY on the height, and the density of the liquid - not on the number of gallons. You basically calculate the weight of a vertical column of that height, and divide by the base area. The column can be of any cross section - for example a square centimeter, a square meter, or a square foot. (For water, the pressure is about 1 bar for every 10 meters.)
