Answer:

Pressure of pressure head will be
863.6pound/ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given pressure head = 14 feet

Specific weight of water
(\rho g)_(water)=62.4pound/ft^3

Pressure is given by
P=(\rho g)_(water)h, here h is pressure head.

So pressure
P=(\rho g)_(water)h=62.4pound/ft^3* 14ft=863.6pound/ft^2

So the pressure of pressure head will be
863.6pound/ft^2
