Answer:
The pressure is 2.167 psi.
Explanation:
Given that,
Diameter = 1.5 feet
Height = 10 feet
We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet
Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid
Suppose the fluid is water.
Then, the pressure is
[tex]P=\rho g h[/tex]
Where, P = pressure
[tex]\rho[/tex] = density
h = height
Put the value into the formula
[tex]P=1000\times9.8\times1.524[/tex]
[tex]P=14935.2\ N/m^2[/tex]
Pressure in psi is
[tex]P=2.166167621\ psi[/tex]
[tex]P=2.167\ psi[/tex]
Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.
