ok, thx 250

Ok I think I hear you, the bigger the hole in the bottom of the tank the less pressure their is at the bottom of the tank, even though the height of the water stays the same. Are you saying this is correct? 250

Hi cap, Please be patient Does not every square foot of surface support the weight of the water, if so then one square foot holds Xlbs of water, so then two square feet holds 2Xlbs of water or twice as much weight? CAP- said: One pound of water on one foot area is not the same as one pound of water on two square feet. The 1lbs/2'squared has half as much water? You do not have the same water. Would you be so kind and show me how, what I wrote before is wrong? 250

Hi cap, I just want to make sure; we are on the same track, so I must give all fact that I am thinking, because I am confused. Pipe one: = 6283 cu.ft. of water,and weighs 392184 lbs. The water height always stays the same; let's say it has a water refill valve at 20'. At the bottom I drilled a Hole that is one square inch gives you 8.66 pounds per square inch. And so if i drilled a larger hole to one square foot, 8.66 x 144=1247 pounds per square foot. a increase in pressure So what is it that I am doing wrong? So the bigger the hole at the bottom of the tank means more pressure is required on the cork, to stop it from leaking? Your formula, Pressure= weight/area, if the area is increased then so is the weight, keeping the pressure the same? I think i understand this, or i am really sc-wed up. please explain if this is wrong. 250

Thank you CAP, Is it because the weight is being supported by more area? So the bigger the hole at the bottom of the tank means more pressure is required to stop it from leaking? So then the size of the hole in a pressure gauge is very critical for its accuracy? I think I am getting this, thx 250

Hello, I don’t have a clear picture of this, can you help me grasp it? There are two pipes, filled with water, twenty feet high, vertical, and opened at the top. Pipe (1) is twenty feet diameter, and pipe (2) is two feet diameter. The pressures at the bottom of both pipes are the same. Please explain how 196 tons of water and less than 1 ton of water have the same pressure at the bottom? Exclude piping One cubic foot of water weighs 62.42796 lbs. Pipe one: = 6283 cu.ft. of water,and weighs 392184 lbs. Pipe two: = 20 cu.ft. of water, and weighs 1248 lbs. 250

hello, I like to learn stuff.
