The atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch, given that its 28.54 inches of mercury is 14.02 psi
How to calculate the atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch?
To calculate the atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch, we shall simply convert 28.54 inches of mercury to pounds per square inch (psi). This is shown below:
- Pressure (in inch of mercury) = 28.54 inches of mercury
- Pressure (in pounds per square inch) =?
Conversion scale:
2.036 in of mercury = 1 pounds per square inch
Therefore,
28.54 inches of mercury = 28.54 / 2.036
= 14.02 pounds per square inch
Thus, we can conclude from the above conversion process that the atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch is 14.02 psi
