most of the time there's a holding tank at the top

Water pressure decreases with height due to the force needed to pump water that high against gravity. As water travels up a building, the pressure decreases because of the increased distance the water needs to travel. Therefore, the water pressure is typically higher on lower floors compared to higher floors in a high-rise building.

A piston in an engine compresses the gas into a small volume What is the pressure?
The pressure is higher than it was at first. A measurement cannot be given from these details.
What is the pressure cooker also called?
A pressure cooker is a cooking vessel that is enclosed with a lid that seals to the pan with a rubber gasket, which cooks at a pressure that is higher than the atmospheric pressure. These cookers are usually made of thick-wall stainless steel or thick aluminum. In the lid is a small vent-hole that contains a pressure-regulating mechanism. Water in the food being cooked will boil and cause a steam build-up in the vessel, which will increase the pressure inside the vessel. The pressure-regulating mechanism on the vent-hole will allow some steam out if pressure exceeds a certain limit (usually around 15 psi, or 15 pounds per square inch), thus maintaining a more or less constant pressure inside the pressure cooker that is higher than atmospheric pressure. Since the boiling point increases with higher pressure (for example, water boils at 100 degrees C at atmospheric pressure but it will boil at a higher temperature inside a pressure cooker since the pressure inside is higher), the temperature inside a pressure cooker can rise more than it would have in an open-enclosure pan. Because of the higher temperature, meat becomes soft easily and food cooks faster causing less loss of nutrients. Pressure cookers often have various safety mechanisms to prevent the buildup of excessive pressure and exploding. After cooking is finished, it is important to release the steam slowly first, because if the lid is opened suddenly, a large amount of steam escaping can cause scalding. Many pressure cookers have special mechanisms for controlled steam release before opening the lid.
What role do pressure and temperature play in magma formation?
Pressure and temperature are both important factors in the formation of magma. Increasing temperature can cause rocks to melt, forming magma. Pressure can also influence magma formation by affecting how easily rocks can deform and melt. Generally, higher temperatures and lower pressures favor magma formation.
Is sea level pressure the same as air pressure?
Sea level pressure is a specific reference point for measuring air pressure. It refers to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, but air pressure can vary depending on altitude. Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a specific point, and it decreases with increasing altitude.
If 4 moles of gas are added to a container that already holds 1 mole of gas the pressure inside the container what due to the change in the amount of gas?
To answer this question you first need to know how big the container is. What is the volume of the container?
What was the name of the first building to have 100 Floors?
There are lots of buildings higher than 100 stories. Many skyscrapers are taller.

What is blood pressure 148 over 83 mean?
The first number is your systolic pressure, which is the pressure when your heart is contracting and pumping blood out. The second, lower number is your diastolic pressure, which is the blood pressure when your heart is relaxing and filling up with blood, not pushing any blood out. I think you've figured it out by now...blood being pushed out will be at a higher pressure, hence the higher first number :)
Is rising air associated with a low pressure cell?
Yes, rising air is associated with a low pressure cell. As air rises within a low pressure system, it cools and condenses, leading to cloud formation and often resulting in rainy or stormy weather conditions.
Where water boils first in lower pressure or high atmospheric pressure?
Water boils first in lower pressure because at lower pressure, the boiling point of water decreases. This means that water will boil more quickly in lower pressure conditions compared to higher atmospheric pressure where the boiling point of water increases.
Why during the ventricular systole the left ventricule is the first to begin contracting but the right ventriculeis the first to axpel blood?
before either ventricule can expel blood, the pressure inside must exceed the pressure in the artery leading out of it, and the systemic pressure is normally much higher than the pulmonary pressure.
When was First Rays of the New Rising Sun created?
First Rays of the New Rising Sun was created on 1968-03-13.
What is a skyscraper?
A skyscraper is a building that is higher than 300m. According to Webster, it is a big building. The word was first used around 1883 to describe the multi-story buildings going up in New York.
What method of inventory will result in reporting the greatest cost of merchandise sold during a period of consistently rising prices?
Generally that would be LIFO or Last In First Out, which basically means, the last Inventory you get in is the first inventory you sale.While prices are constantly rising, that would mean the higher priced items would sale first. That however, is ONLY if they were the ones received at the latest time/date.
When was Esperanza Rising created?
"Esperanza Rising" was written by Pam Muñoz Ryan and first published in 2000.
What if your psa is 3.4?
PSA is a bit of a confusing marker, when trying to measure what its number means. A 3.4 marker level is a bit higher than what most physicians deem "normal". However, in order to determine whether your PSA is rising, which is the concerning factor, you need to first determine where it is rising from.
Was The Dark Is Rising in first person point of view?
