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.
One gallon weighs from 5.8 to 6.5 pounds, depending on the temperature when yo â¦ u weigh it. Water holds similar weight properties as gasoline, so you may wish to test this by weighing one gallon of hot water and one gallon of cold water and taking the average. Don't measure, pour or heat gasoline!!
