    Water pressure
    What is the difference in pressure at ground level between two columns of water, both 60 inches in height, one 10 inches in diameter, the other 5 inches diameter?

    this sounds like homework...

    pressure is measured in psi. in other words force over a set area.

    this link has the formula

    Formula

    you will notice the variables are density of the fluid (water for both examples)
    gravity (same for both)
    height/depth (same for both)

    what do you notice about surface area?
