the pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch ( lb/in.2 ), with the recommended pressure being in the range of 25 to 45 lb/in.2 . suppose a tire has a pressure of 39.5 lb/in.2 . convert 39.5 lb/in.2 to its equivalent in atmospheres.

Respuesta :

The pressure will become 2.68 atm when expressed in atmospheres.

How do we convert from unit to another ?

The act of shifting a quantity's measurement between two units of measurement is known as unit conversion. Usually, multiplicative conversion factors are used, which change the value of the measured amount without altering its effects.

The metric system typically requires moving a decimal point in order to translate from one unit to another.

The given data is 39.5 [tex]lb/in^2[/tex]

we have to convert it into atmospheres

The pressure is :

39.5  [tex]lb/in^2[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{1 atm}{ 14.7 lb/in^2}[/tex]

because the conversion factor is 14.7  [tex]lb/in^2[/tex]

thus the given pressure becomes ;

Pressure = 2.68 atm

The pressure will become 2.68 atm when expressed in atmospheres.
