To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^^ 5Q j^g^ preSSUrO per square inch available for lifting water.
The height the water is raised. If the air in the tank is compressed, each pound of pres- sure will lift water 2.3 feet. This is shown as follows. One cubic foot of water weighs 62.5 lbs.; therefore, water one foot deep exerts a pressure of 62.5 lbs. on one square foot or ^ =.434 lbs. per square inch. Stating this the other way round, .434 lbs. per square inch is the pressure exerted hj water one foot deep.
RUNNING WATER 139 There...fore, 1 lb. per square inch is the pressure exerted by water -i = 2.3 feet deep.
If the tank and pipe are both open to the air, the water in the pipe is at the same level as that in the tank. If now the tank is closed and water is pumped in until the air pressure indi- cated by the gauge is 1 lb. (that is, the air in the tank is at a pressure of 1 lb. above that outside), the water* in the pipe will stand just 2.3 feet above that in the tank, because it takes a depth of 2.3 feet of water to exert a pressure of 1 lb.
