The average pressure of the atmosphere at sea level corresponds to which one or more of the following? A) 101 Pa B) 101 kPa C) 98 kPa D) 15 lb/in² E) Both B and D

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101.3 kPa, which is equivalent to about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). Therefore, both B (101 kPa, close to the actual value) and D (15 lb/in^2, which is a common approximation of atmospheric pressure in imperial units) are correct.

The Average Pressure of the Atmosphere at Sea Level Corresponds
