P2=P1+pgh
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought you would just plug in the pressure in pascals to p1 and add [(1000 kg/m3)(9.8m/s2)(sqrt 2)]?
Water pressure is the force that pushes water through pipes and other systems. It is caused by the weight of the water above and the force of gravity.
Water pressure is typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi). This is the amount of force exerted by the water on a specific area. A pressure gauge is used to measure water pressure in a system.
Water pressure can be affected by several factors, including the height of the water source, the size and length of the pipes, and the amount of water being used in the system. Other factors such as obstructions in the pipes or changes in elevation can also affect water pressure.
Water pressure is important because it allows water to flow through pipes and reach the different areas of a building or system. Without sufficient water pressure, water may not reach certain areas, causing issues with plumbing and other systems.
If you are experiencing low water pressure in your home, there are a few things you can try to increase it. These include checking for any blockages or leaks in the pipes, adjusting the pressure regulator, and making sure the main water valve is fully open. If these do not work, you may need to consult a plumber to identify and fix the issue.
