Question

If the pressure inside a rubber balloon is 1500 mmHg, what is this pressure in pounds-force per square inch (psi)? Answer: 29.0 psi

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure magnitude of 1500 mmHg equals 29.00 pounds per square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 mmHg of pressure equals 0.0193368 psi

Thus the value of 1500 mmHg pressure in psi can be found by proportion as

$1500mmHg=1500mmHg\times \frac{0.0193368psi}{mmHg}\\\\\therefore 1500mmHg=29.00psi$
