Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi on August 29, 2005, had the second lowest ever recorded barometric pressure at 920mb. Convert this pressure to units of atmospheres, and inches of Hg.

1 bar = 0.98692 atm
0.92 bar = 0.92*0.98692 atm = 0.907966 atm

1 bar = 750.06 mm Hg
0.92 bar = 0.92*750.06 mm Hg = 690.0552 mmHg
= 690.0552/25.4 inch = 27.167 inch

am i right? thanks!

Sorry but what THE H. E .L. L IS THIS

Yes, you are correct!

To convert barometric pressure from bars to atmospheres, you need to multiply by the conversion factor of 0.98692. So, 0.92 bar would be equal to 0.92 * 0.98692 atm, which gives you approximately 0.907966 atm.

To convert barometric pressure from bars to inches of Hg (mercury), we need to know that 1 bar is equal to 750.06 mm Hg. So, 0.92 bar would be equal to 0.92 * 750.06 mm Hg, which gives you approximately 690.0552 mm Hg.

Then, to convert mm Hg to inches, you divide by 25.4 because there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch. So, 690.0552 mm Hg would be equal to 690.0552 / 25.4 inches, which gives you approximately 27.167 inches.

Therefore, Hurricane Katrina's recorded barometric pressure of 920 mb is approximately 0.907966 atm and 27.167 inches of Hg.

Yes, you are correct!

The barometric pressure of Hurricane Katrina at 920 mb can be converted to units of atmospheres by using the conversion factor: 1 bar = 0.98692 atm.

So, 920 mb = 920 * 0.98692 atm = 907.966 atm (rounded to three decimal places)

Similarly, the barometric pressure can also be converted to inches of Hg using the conversion factor: 1 bar = 750.06 mm Hg.

So, 920 mb = 920 * 750.06 mm Hg = 690,055.2 mm Hg.

To convert this to inches, divide by 25.4 since there are 25.4 mm in an inch.

690,055.2 mm Hg = 690,055.2 / 25.4 inches Hg = 27,167 inches Hg (rounded to three decimal places).

Hence, the barometric pressure of Hurricane Katrina was approximately 907.966 atm and 27.167 inches of Hg.
