Answer:

The gauge pressure is = 91.52 lb/in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

The value of pressure in S.I unit, = 6.31 x 10⁵ N/m²

The conversion formula for SI unit into US Customary Units is given by,

1 N/m² = 1.45 x 10⁻⁴ lb/in²

Using the conversion formula, the new value of pressure becomes,

Pressure = 6.31 x 10⁵ X 1.45 x 10⁻⁴ lb/in²

= 91.52 lb/in²

Hence, the gauge pressure is, ς = 91.52 lb/in²
