What is a conversion factor?

Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]
