Answer:
Explanation:
A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.
1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.
A.
120 mmHg
Psi:
760 mmHg = 14.7 psi
120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120
= 2.32 psi
Pa:
1mmHg = 133.322 Pa
120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322
= 15998.4 Pa
B.
80 mmHg
Psi:
760 mmHg = 14.7 psi
80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80
= 1.55 psi
Pa:
1mmHg = 133.322 Pa
80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322
= 10665.6 Pa

Answer:
More than enough solar energy (8.2 million quad BTUs, 1 quad = 2.9 x1011 kWh) hits Earth's surface each year to meet all of societies' needs. Currently we use about 400 quads per year to run our society. Good building design allows passive use of sunlight to heat homes. Simple solar collectors are used to heat water and cook food. As useful as it is for these purposes, thermal energy from sunlight is still a low quality energy compared to electricity. Computers, most machinery, light bulbs, subway trains, and much more all require electricity. It is possible to turn thermal energy from the sun into electricity. In this unit we will examine how.
. We will also examine how to make electricity directly from light using the photovoltaic cells.
