Chapter 10, Problem 10.2A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure at a depth of $702\text{ ft}$ is to be expressed in $\text{Pa}$

$\text{mm Hg}$.

Concept introduction:

Atmospheric pressure is defined as average pressure that is exerted at the sea level. This is equivalent to exactly equivalent to $\text{760 mm Hg}$ column.

The relation between $\text{Pa}$ and $\text{atm}$ is as follows:

$\text{1 atm}=101325\text{ Pa}$

The conversion factor to convert $\text{atm}$ to $\text{mm Hg}$ is as follows:

$1\text{ atm}=\text{760 mm Hg}$

The conversion factor to convert $\text{mbar}$ to $\text{bar}$ is as follows:

$1\text{ mbar}={10}^{-3}\text{ bar}$
