Chapter 3, Problem 3.44P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Convert 2600 mmHg to psi

Concept introduction:

One-unit system is usually used in science but less generally used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

From unit conversion tables we can get the following relationships.

1 mmHg is the pressure exerted by a 1 mm vertical column of mercury (Hg) and ‘psi’ is the pressure which results from a force of one pound apply to one square inch area.

Convert U.S. units to SI units as,

760mmHg=14.696psi

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Convert 275 ft H2 O to kPa.

Concept introduction:

One-unit system is usually used in science but less generally used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

From unit conversion tables we can get the following relationships.

One ft H2 O is defined as the pressure of one foot of water column.

Convert U.S. units to SI units as,

33.9ftH2O=101.325kPa

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Convert 3.00 atm to N/cm2

Concept introduction:

There are two systems of units in use in the world. One-unit system is commonly used in science but less usually used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

From unit conversion tables we can get the following relationships.

‘atm’ is called the atmospheric pressure,is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

Convert U.S. units to SI units as,

1atm=1.01325×105N/m21m=100cm
