2.31 feet of water depth exerts a presssure of one pound per square inch.
A column of water 10 ft high exerts 4.33 PSI (static pressure)
To prove take 4.33 times it by 2.31 = 10.00 ft

How does a gravity plumbing system work?
All pressure is created by gravity. For each meter vertical drop you gain 1 BAR (15lb per square inch) of pressure. Hope that helps :)
If you measure force in pounds and distance in feet what are the units of pressure in this system?
Pounds per square foot. If I understand your question correctly.
What units measure air pressure?
Chemistry uses both the metric system and the International System (SI) units of measurements. Air pressure equations are measured in atmospheres (ATM) and Pascal's (Pa) for physical chemistry.
Why 0 psia is to measured?
PSIA is Pounds per Square Inch Absolute, as opposed to PSIG which is PSI Gauge. PSIA is absolute pressure. For example, normal atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSIA, so a PSIA device connected to atmosphere would read 14.7. PSIG is relative pressure, so if system pressure is 15.7 PSIA, and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSIA, then PSIG would be 1.0
What is Mpa?
That is 400 megapascals. A megapascal is a unit of pressure representing one million pascals. A pascal is the equivalent of one newton of force applied to one square meter of area (which is a fairly small amount of pressure). To give a relative basis, 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level pressure) is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI). This is equal to 101.325 kPa = 101,325 Pa. So, 400 MPa would be approximately equal to 4000 atmospheres of pressure.

Where does psi or pounds per square inch come from?
It is a British unit of pressure based on the foot-pound-sec British system of units.
What enables water to move through a system of pipes?
Pressure or gravity
what is the measure of pull on a gravity object?
Newtons in Metric, and Pounds in the English System.
Pressure can be measured in units of?
Pressure is measured in pascal, which is the pressure of 1 newton over 1 square meter. (A newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram by 1 meter per second per second. In the English system, pressure is measured in pounds per square inch. A pound per square inch is equal to about 6,890 pascal.
What is the unit of pressure in the FPS system?
foot/second.square
What is the PSI rating on the radiator cap?
The PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) rating is what pressure the radiator cap is designed to hold up to but not exceed in the cooling system.
What is the force of air molecule's pushing on an area?
The pressure of the air. This is traditionally expressed (at least in the US and UK) in pounds per square inch, but with the SI system it is in Newtons per square meter, or some multiple of this.
What is a what is air pressure measured with?
Air pressure can be stated in different ways. kpa is kilopascals, the metric system psi is pounds per square inch in the standard system 1 bar is equal to the air pressure at sea level 1 kpa= about 7 psi 15 psi = about 1 bar
What is pressured measured?
Pressure is measured in pascal, which is the pressure of 1 newton over 1 square meter. (A newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram by 1 meter per second per second. In the English system, pressure is measured in pounds per square inch. A pound per square inch is equal to about 6,890 pascal.
What are the gravity for Eris and Ceres in pounds?
The question cannot be answered because gravity is not measured in pounds: it is measured as acceleration whose dimensions, in your obsolete system, would be feet per second-squared.
