Chapter 5, Problem 5.1P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure value given in $\text{Hg}$ units is to be converted into $\text{psi}$ units.

Concept Introduction: The relation between $\text{Hg}$ and $\text{psi}$ units is given as,

$1\text{Hg}=0.4912\text{psi}$

To determine: The pressure in $\text{psi}$ units.

Answer to Problem 5.1P

Solution:

The given value of pressure in $\text{psi}$ units is $14.95\text{psi}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The value of pressure in $\text{Hg}$ is $30.44\text{Hg}$ .

The conversion of pressure from $\text{Hg}$ into $\text{psi}$ is done as,

$1\text{Hg}=0.4912\text{psi}$

Hence, the conversion of pressure from $30.44\text{Hg}$ into $\text{psi}$ is,

$\begin{array}{c}30.44\text{Hg}=30.44\times 0.4912\text{psi}\\ =14.95\text{psi}\end{array}$

Conclusion

The value of pressure in $\text{psi}$ units is $14.95\text{psi}$ .
