The pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch (), with the recommended pressure being in the range of 25 to 45 . Suppose a tire has a pressure of 33.5 . Convert 33.5 to its equivalent in atmospheres.
To convert pounds per square inch (psi) to atmospheres (atm), you can use the following conversion factor: 1 atm = 14.696 psi.
To convert 33.5 psi to atm, you can use the formula:
33.5 psi * (1 atm / 14.696 psi) = 2.279 atm (rounded to three decimal places).
Therefore, the pressure of 33.5 psi is equivalent to approximately 2.279 atm.
To convert a pressure from pounds per square inch (psi) to atmospheres (atm), we can use the conversion factor that 1 atm is equal to 14.7 psi. We can use this conversion factor to calculate the pressure in atmospheres.
The formula for conversion is as follows:
Pressure in atm = Pressure in psi / Conversion factor
Let's apply this formula:
Pressure in atm = 33.5 psi / 14.7 psi/atm
Dividing 33.5 psi by 14.7 psi/atm:
Pressure in atm ≈ 2.28 atm
Therefore, the equivalent pressure of 33.5 psi is approximately 2.28 atm.
