Chapter 5, Problem 5.14QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure given should be converted into the units of atmospheres and $\text{kPa}$ have to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure can be expressed in different units. But it is normally reported in $\text{mm}\text{Hg}\left(\text{millimeters}\text{of}\text{mercury}\right)$

$\text{Pressure}\text{=}\frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}$

General unit conversions:

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