One of the oldest units for atmospheric pressure is Ib in.2 (pounds per square inch, or psi). Calculate the numerical value of the standard atmosphere in these units to three significant figures. Calculate the mass in pounds of a uniform column of water 69.4 ft high having an area of 1.00 in² at its base. (Use the following data: density of mercury = 13.6 g mL-1; density of water = 1.00 g mL-1: 1 mL = 1 cm3; I lb = 454 g; 1 in. = 2.54 cm.) mass of the water column = i Ib/in?
