Calculate the water pressure at the bottom of the 110--high water tower
To calculate the water pressure at the bottom of a water tower, you will need to know the height of the water column above that point.
In this case, you mentioned that the water tower is 110 feet high.
The pressure at the bottom of a water column is given by the formula:
Pressure = density × gravity × height
To calculate the pressure, you will need to multiply the density of water, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height of the water column.
The density of water is approximately 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared.
First, we'll convert the height of the tower from feet to meters:
110 feet × 0.3048 meters/foot = 33.528 meters
Now, we can calculate the pressure:
Pressure = 1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 33.528 m
Pressure ≈ 328,894.4 pascals (Pa)
So, the water pressure at the bottom of the 110-foot high water tower is approximately 328,894.4 pascals.
