Answer to Problem 9.1P

  N/m2=66661.33

Explanation of Solution

Given:

500 mm Hg abs

Calculation:

1 mm Hg is 133.322387415m Pascal

mm Hg to newton per meter square formula is:

  N/m2=mmHg0.0075006N/m2=5000.0075006

  N/m2=66661.33

b.

To determine

Convert the 720 torr to N/m2.

Answer to Problem 9.1P

  720torr=95992.12N/m2

Explanation of Solution

Given:

720 torr

Calculation:

1 torr is defined as 1/760 atm

Or 1 torr is 101325/760 pascals

  N/m2=torr0.0075006N/m2=torr×133.3224N/m2=720×133.3224N/m2=95992.12

c.

To determine

Convert the 14.696 lb/in2 to N/m2.

Answer to Problem 9.1P

  14.696lb/in2=101322.67N/m2

Explanation of Solution

Given:

14.696 lb/in2 abs

Calculation:

  N/m2=psi0.00014504N/m2=psi×6894.757N/m2=14.696×6894.757N/m2=101322.67

d.

To determine

Convert the 1 bar to N/m2.

d.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 9.1P

  1bar=100000N/m2

Explanation of Solution

Given:

1 bar

Calculation:

  N/m2=bar0.000010000N/m2=bar×0.000010000N/m2=bar×0.000010000N/m2=100000
