Answer:
The pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) equals 14.50 psi.
Explanation:
Since psi stands for 'pounds per square inch' and Pascals stands for 'Newtons per square meters'
We can write the given pressure as
[tex]Pressure=100kPa\\\\Pressure=100\times 10^{3}N/m^{2}[/tex]
Now since 1 Newton of force equals 0.22481 Pound force also
since 1 meter equals 39.37 inches
Using the above values we get
[tex]Pressure=100\times 10^{3}\times \frac{0.22481lb}{(39.37)^{2}inch^{2}}[/tex]
thus the pressure becomes
[tex]Pressure=100\times 10^{3}\times \frac{0.22481}{(39.31)^{2}}pounds/inch^{2}\\\\Pressure=14.50psi[/tex]
