Atmosphere pressure can be measured in pounds per square inch, and this varies depending on how far a location is above or below sea level. At sea level, atmospheric pressure equals 14.7 pounds per square inch (or psi).

What is pounds per square inch absolute?
The absolute, thermodynamic pressure, measured by the number of pounds-force exerted on an area of 1 square inch.
1 lbs pressure is how much psi?
The acronym PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch," and is the common unit of measurement for pressure. It can be understood as the amount of force that is exerted on an area of one square inch. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 PSI The acronym PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch," and is the common unit of measurement for pressure. It can be understood as the amount of force that is exerted on an area of one square inch. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 PSI
How does pressure relate to depth?
Pressure = force / area, but > Force (weight) of water = mass * acceleration > Select a depth, choose an area the weight of water is acting on ( say 1 square inch ) calculate the force (weight) of the water column above that area (in pounds) Divide force by area = pressure (pounds per square inch (psi)) Dont forget to add atmospheric pressure (psi) to the answer.
Air pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch why aren't we crushed by this force?
Because the pressure inside our bodies and outside our bodies are equal.
What is the water pressure at 1000 feet in pounds?
About 460 pounds per square inch.
What is pounds per square inch absolute?
The absolute, thermodynamic pressure, measured by the number of pounds-force exerted on an area of 1 square inch.
What units can pressure can be pressure?
force divided by area (pounds per square inch ... tons per acre ... etc)

What does PSI mean in air pressure?
pounds per square inch
Convert 200lbs to psi?
The lb (Pound) is a unit of mass (sometimes called weight) and the psi (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure. I take it that you need to calculate the pressure of a number of pounds on a certain surface. You may find the suggested web site helpful. You can't convert pounds to pounds per square inch (psi). One is force and one is pressure. If you know the area over which the force is spread, then you can divide the force by the area and get pounds per square inch (psi).
When Force divided by the area over which the force is exerts pressure?
yes, force divided by area is pressure; its units are pounds per square inch, or newtons per square meter, for example. I you pull on an object with force over an area it is called stress
When would you use pounds per square inch?
To write down the measure of pressure, which is a quantity of force per area.
What is the formula relating pressure and force to area?
pressure = force/area force = pressure x area area = force/pressure
Why pressure is used?
Pressure is simply a measurement of force distributed across an area. For example, the pressure that the atmosphere exerts at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch. This means that every square inch of our body's exterior surface area experiences 14.7 pounds of force. This force is beneficial however because our bodies are designed to function in that environment. Were you referring to a particular use of pressure? In weather, for example?
Two methods of measuring air pressure are BAR or?
some units of pressure include: ATM (atmospheres) psi (pounds force per square inch)
What describes the amount of force divided by its cross section?
The force on an object divided by its cross section is called stress or pressure or pounds per square inch.
