**Pressure Conversion Example for Educational Purposes**The prevailing atmospheric pressure on a plateau in Colorado is 0.760 atm. We need to express this pressure in various units: pounds per square inch (psi), kilopascals (kPa), pascals (Pa), millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), and inches of mercury (in Hg).**Given Conversion Factors:**- 1 atm = 101.3 kPa- 1 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa- 1 atm = 760 mm Hg- 1 atm = 14.69 psi- 1 atm = 29.92 in Hg**Conversion Process:**1. **Atmospheric Pressure (atm)**: `0.760 atm`2. **Pounds per square inch (psi)**: \[ 0.760 \, \text{atm} \times 14.69 \, \frac{\text{psi}}{\text{atm}} = 11.1644 \, \text{psi} \]3. **Kilopascals (kPa)**: \[ 0.760 \, \text{atm} \times 101.3 \, \frac{\text{kPa}}{\text{atm}} = 76.988 \, \text{kPa} \]4. **Pascals (Pa)**: \[ 0.760 \, \text{atm} \times 1.013 \times 10^5 \, \frac{\text{Pa}}{\text{atm}} = 7.6988 \times 10^4 \, \text{Pa} \]5. **Millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg)**: \[ 0.760 \, \text{atm} \times 760 \, \frac{\text{mm Hg}}{\text{atm}} = 577.6 \, \text{mm Hg} \]6. **Inches of Mercury (in Hg)**: \[ 0.760 \, \text{atm} \times 29.92 \, \frac{\text{in Hg}}{\text{atm}} = 22.7392 \, \text{in Hg} \]**Conversion Table:**| atm | psi | kPa **Pressure Conversion Practice**An automobile tire is inflated to a pressure of **30.6 psi**. Express this pressure in the following units:- Atmospheres (atm)- Kilopascals (kPa)- Inches of mercury (in Hg)- Millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)- Torr**Hints for Conversion:**- \(1 \text{ atm} = 101.3 \text{ kPa} = 29.92 \text{ in Hg} = 760 \text{ mm} = 760 \text{ torr}\)- \( \text{Hg} = 14.69 \text{ psi}\)**Conversion Table:**| psi | atm | kPa | in Hg | mm Hg | torr ||------|-----|-----|-------|-------|------|| 30.6 | | | | | |Use the conversion factors provided to complete the table.
