Question

the central europe record for highest recorded barometric pressure is 31.18 in hg, set in 1907 in budapest, hungary. part c convert this pressure to torr. express your answer in torrs to four significant figures. p = torr part d convert this pressure to kpa. express your answer in kilopascals to four significant figures. p = kpa

Explanation:

Part C: Convert pressure to torr

Step1: Use conversion factor

We know that \(1\space in\space Hg = 25.4\space mm\space Hg\) and \(1\space mm\space Hg= 1\space torr\).
So, \(P = 31.18\space in\space Hg\times25.4\space torr/in\space Hg\)

Step2: Calculate the value

$$

Part D: Convert pressure to kPa

Step1: Use another conversion factor

We know that \(1\space in\space Hg = 3.38639\space kPa\)
So, \(P = 31.18\space in\space Hg\times3.38639\space kPa/in\space Hg\)

Step2: Calculate the value

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

Part C: \(P = 792.0\space torr\)
Part D: \(P = 105.6\space kPa\)
