At which depth of water would you expect the water pressure to be the greatest?
At the average ocean depth (3,800 meters), pressure on the sea floor is a whopping 380 times greater than it is at the surface. In the deepest trenches, it’s 1,100 times greater! All that pressure causes serious problems for people and other air-breathing animals.
What is the water pressure at 3000 feet?
EXAMPLE (Imperial)
Depth (meters/feet) | Fresh Water (1000 kg/m3) |
---|---|
610 meters (2,000 feet) | 6.1 MPa 881.7 PSI |
914.4 meters (3,000 feet) | 9.1 MPa 1,314.4 PSI |
1,219.2 meters (4,000 feet) | 12 MPa 1,747.6 PSI |
1,525 meters (5,000 feet) | 15MPa 2,182.3 PSI |
What is the pressure at 3000 feet below sea level?
Example – Air pressure at Elevation 10000 m
Altitude Above Sea Level | Absolute Atmospheric Pressure | |
---|---|---|
feet | metre | psia |
3000 | 914 | 13.2 |
3500 | 1067 | 12.9 |
4000 | 1219 | 12.7 |
What is the water pressure at 1000 feet?
Each 10 metres (33 feet) of depth puts another atmosphere (1 bar, 14.7 psi, 101 kPa) of pressure on the hull, so at 300 metres (1,000 feet), the hull is withstanding thirty atmospheres (30 bar, 441 psi, 3,000 kPa) of water pressure.
What happens if you go deep into the ocean?
This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .
What’s the pressure at the bottom of the ocean?
3000 to 9000 pounds per square inch
Most of the deep ocean is under pressures of 3000 to 9000 pounds per square inch (or about the equivalent of 100 to 300 times the air pressure in automobile tires).
What is the water pressure at 33 feet?
29.4 pounds per square inch
It only takes a 1 inch column of sea water 33 feet tall to weigh 14.7 pounds. This means that at a depth of 33 feet deep in the ocean, there is a total pressure of 29.4 pounds per square inch (psi).
What is the pressure like in the deep ocean?
Pressure in the Deep. Everything in the deep ocean is under a great deal of pressure. At any depth in the ocean, the weight of the water above pushes on any object below it. With every foot an object descends into the ocean, more water is pushing down and against it, and more pressure is exerted upon that object.
How much pressure is required for ice to form on Earth?
Pressure depends with depth as: Assuming constant density, you need a column of water of 66 k m for ice to be formed. That is about six times the depth of Challenger Deep, in Mariana trench.
How much pressure does it take for water to become solid?
Ok, granted, at very high pressures water does become solid. From the phase diagram, to get solid at around 0 °C you need around 650 MPa. How much is that? Pressure depends with depth as: Assuming constant density, you need a column of water of 66 k m for ice to be formed. That is about six times the depth of Challenger Deep, in Mariana trench.
How deep in the ocean is the average depth?
The average ocean depth is 12,566 feet about 3800 meters. The greatest ocean depth is 36,200 feet over 11,000 meters! this great depth of water have on things living in the ocean? The answer depends upon where in the ocean it lives. A fish or a plant near the surface
