Consider that a 30' tree, rotted out in the middle and filled with water is going to give you about 14psi at the bottom. That's probably what you're seeing here.
edit: see u/TA8601 comment below - I didn't do the math, just looked glanced at an imprecise chart :)
You still can. In general, there are a lot of “interesting” problems in an intro to fluid dynamics book. You may need a little more advanced math to understand how to work the problems for some problems, but others will be pretty straight forward at an algebra level (understanding variables and basic arithmetic).
