Answer:

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.
