Answer :
Final answer:
To convert atmospheric pressure from lbf/in² to different units, divide the given pressure by the appropriate conversion factor. To convert to lbf/ft², divide by 144. To convert to Pa, multiply by 6.895 × 10³. To convert to kPa, divide the pressure in Pa by 1000. To convert to bar, divide the pressure in kPa by 100.
Explanation:
To convert atmospheric pressure from lbf/in2 to the requested units:
(a) To convert to lbf/ft2, we need to know how many square inches are equal to 1 square foot. There are 12x12=144 square inches in 1 square foot. So, to convert, we divide the given pressure (in lbf/in2) by 144.
(b) To convert to pa (pascals), we need to know how many pascals are equal to 1 lbf/in2. We can use the given conversion factor provided, which is 1 lbf/in2 = 6.895 × 103 Pa. So, to convert, we multiply the given pressure (in lbf/in2) by 6.895 × 103.
(c) To convert to kPa (kilopascals), we divide the pressure in pa by 1000.
(d) To convert to bar, we divide the pressure in kPa by 100.
