How to Convert Atmospheres to Pounds Per Square Feet
Example: How many pounds per square feet are equivalent to 52.03 Atmospheres?
As;
1 Atmospheres = 2115.6219939981 pounds per square feet
52.03 Atmospheres = Y pounds per square feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 52.03 times 2115.6219939981 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 52.03 * 2115.6219939981 / 1 = 110075.81234772 pounds per square feet
Answer is: 110075.81234772 pounds per square feet are equivalent to 52.03 Atmospheres.
