Short Answer

Convert an absolute pressure of 7 x 10⁵ N/M² to gauge pressure in lb/in² (This value was stated to be just less than 90.0 lb/in² in Example 13.9. Is it?)

Pressure in terms of lb/in² is 86.95 lb/in².

Step 1: Introduction

We use conversion units to convert N to lb and meters to inches.

Step 2: Given parameters and conversion units

Absolute pressure = 7 x 10⁵ N/M²

gauge pressure = 5.99 x 10⁵ N/m²

1 N = 0.225 lb

1 meter = 39.37 inches

Step 3: Calculate the pressure in new units

$\begin{array}{rcl} 5.99 \times 10^{5} N / m^{2} & = & \frac{5.99 \times 10^{5} \times 0.225}{39.37 \times 39.37} lb / {in}^{2} \\ = & 86.95 lb / {in}^{2} \end{array}$

Therefore, the pressure in new units is 86.95 lb/in² which was stated as just less than 90 lb/in².
