Convert pound-force / square meter to atmosphere

Learn how to convert 1 pound-force / square meter to atmosphere step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = x (a t m o s p h e r e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = 4.4482216152605 (p a s c a l) = 4.4482216152605 (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (a t m o s p h e r e) = 9.80665 \times 10^{5} (p a s c a l) = 9.80665 \times 10^{5} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = x (a t m o s p h e r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.4482216152605 \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.4482216152605 \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 9.80665 \times 10^{5} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.4482216152605 \cdot (P a) = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

4.4482216152605 = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5}

Switch sides

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5} = 4.4482216152605

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}})

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}} = 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}}

Cancel

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}} = 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.80665 \times 10^{5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{5}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 5} \times 4.4482216152605}{9.80665}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000045359 \approx 4.5359 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) \approx 4.5359 \times 10^{- 6} (a t m o s p h e r e)
