Most children of school age who wet the bed at night have what doctors term primary enuresis.. They have never had nighttime control of their bladder. Family history plays a role, too, in incontinence in children. If you wet the bed as a child, don't be surprised when your child does, too.
One thing to notice is that if you put a gallon of air on a scale, (in a wieghtless container, of course) you would measure zero, exactly. That's because the buoyancy caused by the surrounding air exactly counteracts the weight of the air in the container. If you pressurized the air in your gallon container to, say ten times the outside pressure (or 147.0 psi absolute, or 132.3 psi gauge) it would now weigh nine times 0.01, or 0.09 lb.
At sea level, the weight of the air above this unit area would (on average) weigh 14.7 pounds! That means pressure applied by this air on the unit area would be 14.7 pounds per square inch. Meteorologists use a metric unit for pressure called a millibar and the average pressure at sea level is 1013.25 millibars. Terms for using data resources. CD-ROM available.
