Question

What is the equivalent pressure to 1 kg/cm^2 (i.e., kg f /cm^ 2) in pascal (g=9.8m/s^2); 9.8^ * 10000 N/m^2?

Answer 1

To convert the pressure from 1 kg/cm² (kilogram-force per square centimeter) to pascals, we need to use the conversion factor:

1 kgf/cm² = 9.8 * 10000 N/m²

Here's the calculation:

1 kgf/cm² = 9.8 * 10000 N/m² = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, 1 kg/cm² is equivalent to 98000 pascals (Pa).
