Problem 1.

20 [Difficulty: 1]

Given: Pressure, volume and density data in certain units

Find: Convert to different units

Solution:
Using data from tables (e.g. Table G.2)

6895⋅ Pa 1⋅ kPa
(a) 1⋅ psi = 1⋅ psi × × = 6.89⋅ kPa
1⋅ psi 1000⋅ Pa

1⋅ quart 1⋅ gal
(b) 1⋅ liter = 1⋅ liter × × = 0.264⋅ gal
0.946⋅ liter 4⋅ quart

⎛ 1 ⋅ ft ⎞
lbf ⋅ s lbf ⋅ s 4.448⋅ N ⎜ 12 N⋅s
(c) 1⋅ = 1⋅ × ×⎜ = 47.9⋅
