Examples:
1. Convert 5 ATM to psi. 2. Convert 350 000 Pa to psf.

Solution: Solution:
14.7 𝑝𝑠𝑖 2116.8 𝑝𝑠𝑓
5 ATM ( 1 𝐴𝑇𝑀 ) = 73.5 psi 350 000 Pa (101325 𝑃𝑎 ) = 7311.92 psf

Given: Required:
𝜌 = 0.0023 slug/ft3 a.) P = ? in psi
T = 20°C b.) P = ? in Pa
𝑙𝑏𝑓 −𝑓𝑡
R = 53.342 𝑙𝑏𝑚 −𝑅

Solution:
Convert 20°C to °F to Rankine

T = 5 (20) + 32 (2116.8 𝑝𝑠𝑓)

T = 68 °F + 460
T = 528 R
b.) P = ? in Pa

Solution:
