Chapter 5.2, Problem 2PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given value of pressure has to be converted into kilopascals.

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:

  $\text{1}\text{atm}\text{=}\text{760}\text{mm}\text{Hg}\text{=}\text{101}\text{.325}\text{kilopascals}\text{=}\text{1}\text{.01325}\text{bar}$
