Question

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?

Answer 1

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

`P=\rho g h`

Where, P = pressure

`\rho` = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

`P=1000*9.8*1.524`

`P=14935.2\ N/m^2`

Pressure in psi is

`P=2.166167621\ psi`

`P=2.167\ psi`

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.
