Q. 1.1
Convert 5000 lb/in.² to Pa (1 Pa = 1 N/m²).
Step-by-Step
Verified Solution
Using the conversion factors listed inside the front cover, we obtain
5000\:lb/in.^{2} = 5000\frac{\cancel{lb}}{\cancel{in.}^{2}}×\frac{4.448N}{1.0\:\cancel{lb}}×\left(\frac{39.37\cancel{in}}{1.0\:m} \right)^{2} \\ =34.5\times 10^{6}\:N/m^{2}= 34.5\: MPa
