Pound Per Square Inch (abbreviations: psi, or lb/in2): is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
Kilogram Per Centimeter Cube (abbreviations: kg/cm2, or kgpcm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of kilogram per centimeter cube.
How to Convert Pounds Per Square Inches to Kilograms Per Centimeters Cube
Example: How many kilograms per centimeters cube are equivalent to 2.35 pounds per square inches?
As;
1 pounds per square inches = 0.070307 kilograms per centimeters cube
2.35 pounds per square inches = Y kilograms per centimeters cube
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 2.35 times 0.070307 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 2.35 * 0.070307 / 1 = 0.16522145 kilograms per centimeters cube
Answer is: 0.16522145 kilograms per centimeters cube are equivalent to 2.35 pounds per square inches.
