The formula for hydrostatic pressure is p= m (density) x g (9.81) x h , it doesn't matter witch shape it has , really trust me on this oneThe formula does not aply to a cane shape! It is for a cylinder. For a cone we must consider the changing area of the base to calculate the average pressure. In a cone, the pressure will increase or decrease in relation to the changing volume of the increments of the cone in relation to gravity.
did I explain that right?
I work on every day basis with industrial pumps (process engineer) , coloums and other stuff.
And one other misconception about centrifugal pumps is that they would draw more current when pressure is higher ---> this is also not treu.
If you close the discharge side of an centrifugal pump , pressure rises ,the flow decreases and the thus the labour ---> reducing the current.
If flow is completly reduced (this is also not that good for pumps), pressure is now at max, you'll see that the pump then draws the least current , and when discharged fully open you draw more current .
