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.
