Question

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement.

Answer 1

Answer:

–0.13 Pa.m²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Measurement (Pa.mm²) = –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm²

Measurement (Pa.m²) =?

We can convert from Pa.mm² to Pa.m² by doing the following:

1 Pa.mm² = 1×10¯⁶ Pa.m²

Therefore,

–1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² = –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² × 1×10¯⁶ Pa.m² / 1 Pa.mm²

–1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² = –0.13 Pa.m²

Thus, –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² is equivalent to –0.13 Pa.m².
