How to use this Water Pressure Calculator 🤔
There are input fields for Average Density (water) \((ρ)\), Gravitational Acceleration Constant \((g)\), Height \((h)\), and Pressure \((P)\). Enter any three inputs and click on Calculate button.
The calculator uses the \( P = ρ \cdot g \cdot h \) formula, substitues given values, and calcuates the missing value.
The missing value is calcuated and displayed in the input field. Also, the caculation is displayed under the input section.
What is Water Pressure?
Water pressure is the force exerted by water on any surface it comes into contact with. It increases with depth because the weight of the water above exerts a greater force. The deeper you go underwater, the higher the water pressure.
Calculating Water Pressure
Water pressure (P) can be calculated using the formula:
\( P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h \).
In this formula, the parameters are defined as follows:
ρ (rho): The density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
g: The acceleration due to gravity, typically taken as 9.8 m/s².
h: The height or depth of the water above the point where the pressure is being measured, in meters (m).
