Convert this pressure into kilograms per square centimetre
use:
1 pound = 0.45 kilograms
1 square inch = 6.25 square centimetres

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 pound = 0.45 kilograms

1 square inch = 6.25 square centimeters

First, let's convert the pressure from pounds per square inch to kilograms per square inch:

198 pounds/square inch × 0.45 kilograms/pound = 89.1 kilograms/square inch

Next, let's convert from kilograms per square inch to kilograms per square centimeter:

1 square inch = 6.25 square centimeters

89.1 kilograms/square inch ÷ 6.25 square centimeters/square inch = 14.256 kilograms/square centimeter

Therefore, the pressure of 198 pounds per square inch is equivalent to 14.256 kilograms per square centimeter.
