The pressure on the floor in pounds per square foot and in psi.

Question

A household hot-water system has an expansion tank in the attic, 12 meters above the boiler. If the tank is open to the atmosphere what is the gauge pressure and absolute pressure in the boiler? Hint: The gauge pressure in the formula to be used is P - Patm and the absolute pressure is P. For example if the gauge pressure of a tire is zero the tire is flat. A pressure called 1 atmosphere = 1.013×10⁵ Pa

The deep end of a swimming pool has a depth of 2.00 m. The atmospheric pressure above thepool is 1.01 x 105 Pa. What is the pressure at the bottom of the pool?

A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.9 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft°]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 80 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units 'm' of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo? Click the icon to view the conversion table. The maximum surface pressure is atm. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
