On a hot sunny day in August, the weather-
man reports that the barometric pressure is
39 atm atmospheres. How many Pascals is
this?
1 atm= 101325 Pa
1 atm= 101.325 kPa
To convert atmospheres (atm) to Pascals (Pa), you need to know the conversion factor between the two units.
1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 101325 Pascals (Pa).
So, to convert 39 atmospheres to Pascals, you can use the following calculation:
39 atm * 101325 Pa/atm = 3,947,175 Pa.
Therefore, 39 atmospheres is equal to 3,947,175 Pascals.
