It's actually to do with surface area. One foot decreases your area, therefore all your weight (pressure) is on one foot. 2 feet would distribute the weight

How many psi in 1 cubic foot of gas?
There can be aby number of psi in a cubic foot because psi is a measurement of pressure and the gas can be any pressure you care to make it.
Does pressure increase or decrease in deep water?
I'm not quite sure, but I would say that pressure does increase as you near the center of the Earth. Some argue that when you reach the center, there would be no pressure because of the equal amount of weight on each side. My question is...is the weight equal on every side. If not, then there would be pressure inside the core of the Earth.
What is a cubic unit?
A measurement of volume. A cubic foot, for example, has the volume of a cube which is 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot. Any shape that has the same volume as this is considered to have 1 cubic foot volume. (It could be 1 inch by 1 foot by 12 feet).
What happens the density of a gas as it is compressed?
The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.
What is the psi of 1 gal of water falling 1 foot?
One square foot
How can you increase water pressure from a well?
Simply increase the height of the tank as the pressure is a constant (.434) times the height, or approximately 1/2 PSI per foot.
How can you increase the solubility of a gaseous solute?
Decrease the temperature, if aqueous. Increase the pressure.
How much does water pressure increase?
1 atmosphere for every 10m

What are Ways to change the rate of a chemical reaction?
1. Increase the temp 2. Increase surface area 3. Increase the pressure of the system
What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?
1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume
How much does water pressure increase vertically?
1 atmosphere for every 10m
Increased heart rate causes systolic pressure to increase or decrease mean arterial pressure?
Mean arterial pressure can be thought of as 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic since the heart spends slightly more time is diastole (rest) that it does in systole (contracting). MAP = 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic. Therefore, an increase in either systolic or diastolic will increase the MAP. Additionally, under physiological conditions, an increase in heart rate will increase blood pressure. Increased HR leads to increased cardiac output, among other things, which increase blood pressure.
Can a duck stand on 1 leg?
Yes they often do when one foot is injured or tired or cold.
Increase this to increase the pressure?
1. Temperature of a gas 2. Force applied to a surface 3. Containing (included in closed system) mass
What does MPa stand for in plumbing?
MPa stands for Megapascal, a unit of pressure. 1 Mpa is equal to 145.0377 psi
How do you fit a second tank in tandem to increase the hot water pressure?
Another tank will do nothing to increase the pressure. If it is city water, the pressure is regulated at themeter. The only thing that could increase it is to increase the size pipe supplying the fixtures. There is probably 3/4 inch coming into the house and it reduces to 1/2. The slight increase would probably not be worth the expense of doing. The pressure is still going to be the same, just more volume.
