Gravity Fed Water Pressure Calculator

Formula

To calculate gravity fed water pressure:

\[ P_{gf} = \frac{m \times g}{A} \]

Where:

\( P_{gf} \) is the Gravity Fed Water Pressure (Pa)
\( m \) is the mass of the water (kg)
\( A \) is the total area (m²)
\( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

What is Gravity Fed Water Pressure?

Gravity Fed Water Pressure is the pressure exerted by water in a gravity-fed system. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of the water by the acceleration due to gravity, then dividing by the total area. This pressure is typically measured in Pascals (Pa).

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of the Water \( m \) = 500 kg
Total Area \( A \) = 2 m²

Step 1: Multiply the mass of the water by the acceleration due to gravity:

\[ m \times g = 500 \times 9.81 = 4905 \]

Step 2: Divide the result by the total area:

\[ P_{gf} = \frac{4905}{2} = 2452.5 \text{ Pa} \]
