How does fluid pressure change with depth?

Pressure changes very easily. The deeper that you go there is more pressure. For example, when you dive into the ocean, there is not only a whole sky-worth of air pushing down on you, but you are also being pressured by the tons of water above you. On the flipside, when you travel to a greater altitude, pressure decreases. For exapmle, when you climb a mountian, there is less air above you pushing down on you then there is on sealevel.


What is the square feet of room 10'by27'?

The square footage of a room that is 10 feet by 27 feet is 270 square feet (10 x 27 = 270).


How is head related to water pressure?

The height of a water column that extends above the point of measurement affects the water pressure at that point. This height, also known as head, is commonly measured in feet or meters and represents the potential energy available to create pressure. The higher the head, the greater the water pressure.


Do elevation and depth change pressure?

Pressure is directly proportional to depth. The equation used is for hydrostatic pressure: P = Po + dh Where P = pressure, Po = initial pressure at surface, d = density of the fluid, and h = height to the free surface (or depth). In diving, Po is usually the atmospheric pressure. This is the only thing that elevation affects, as sea level air pressure is higher than the air pressure at higher elevations. The density of sea water is generally accepted as 64 lbs/cu ft. There is variation, but usually not enough to be meaningful, unless you are diving in a very high salinity location, like the Dead Sea, in which the salt content is so high that the density is considerably higher. For most purposes, atmospheric pressure at sea level is accepted to be 14.7 lbs/sq in (14.7 psi), or 2116.8 lbs/sq ft (2116.8 psf). Diving in sea water then, the equation becomes: P = 2116.8 lbs/sq ft + 64 lbs/cu ft x h. Then, at the surface, h = 0, and P = 2116.8 psf = 14.7 psi. At h = 10 ft, P = 2116.8 + 64 x 10 = 2756.8 psf = 19.1 psi. At h = 33 ft, P = 4228.8 psf = 29.4 psi. At h = 100 ft, P = 8516.8 PS = 59.1 psi. And so on. The general rule-of-thumb for sport/recreational diving is that the pressure increases by 14.7 psi (1 atmosphere) for every 33 ft of depth. So that at 100 ft, the pressure is 58.8 psi (4 atmospheres). (Remember that you start at the surface at 1 atmosphere.)


Why is the pressure at 14000 ft above sea level 0.69 ATM while the pressure at 14000 ft below sea level is 470 ATM?

The pressure at different altitudes depends on the weight of the air column above that point. At 14000 ft above sea level, there is less air above causing lower pressure (0.69 ATM). Conversely, at 14000 ft below sea level, there is more air above causing higher pressure (470 ATM).

What is the pressure at a depth of 200 feet?

The pressure at a depth of 200 feet underwater is approximately 86.5 pounds per square inch (psi). This is because pressure increases by 0.433 psi for every foot of depth in water. So, at 200 feet deep, the pressure is 200 ft * 0.433 psi/ft = 86.5 psi.

If a 30ft3 volume of air at 10 psig is compressed to 25 ft3 at a constant temperature what would be the new pressure in psig?

Using the ideal gas law equation P1V1 = P2V2, with initial pressure (P1) = 10 psig, initial volume (V1) = 30 ft^3, final volume (V2) = 25 ft^3, we can solve for the final pressure (P2). (10 psig * 30 ft^3) / 25 ft^3 = 12 psig, so the new pressure would be 12 psig.

What is the water pressure at 5000 feet below sea level?

'Hydrostatic Pressure' is the Term used for 'the force exerted by a body of fluid at rest. The pressure increases with increase in depth.There are two ways to Calculate water (clean water) pressure at any depth (both yields almost same results):1. The Hydrostatic pressure of water is 0.433 Psi/ft (Pounds per square inch Per feet). So at 5000 feet, the pressure is: 0.433 Psi/ft. * 5000 ft = 2165 Psianother way to go about it is:2. Water pressure increases at 14.7 psi every 34 feet depth. Thus Pressure at 5000 ft will be: (5000 ft / 34 ft) * 14.7 psi = 2162 Psi.

Can someone explain how to do this At A 33-foot Depth Underwater The Pressure Is 29.55 Pounds Per Square Inch (psi). At A Depth Of 66 Feet The Pressure Reaches 44.4 Psi. At What Rate Is The Pressure I?

The rate is (44.4 - 29.55) / 33 which is 14.85 psi/33 feet = 0.45 psi/ft
