As I've said, the force per square inch would be greater in the 28 gauge, but the total force would be the same. It would appear that that would also be correct for the rocket propelled acrobats as in case 1 they would have cross sectional area of three sets of feet and in case two the area of of only one set. I believe this began as a discussion that total force in smaller gauges is greater than force in larger gauges, and you have conceded that total force is the same in a 28 as a 12. It's been fun.
