Question

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 34.5 lb/in.2 . Convert 34.5 lb/in.2 to its equivalent in atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

2.35 atm  

Explanation:

1 atm = 14.70 lb/in²

$p = \text{34.5 lb/in}^{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 atm}}{\text{14.70 lb/in}^{2}} = \textbf{2.35 atm}$
