document.write( "Question 1129026: A 982.0 N force is exerted on a circular surface with a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the resulting pressure on the surface? Express your answer in units of psi (pounds per square inch), a common unit of pressure.
\n" ); document.write( "Hint: In order to make the unit conversions, you will have to use the fact that:

Pressure(P) = Force(F)/Area(A)

\n" ); document.write( "In the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, the P units are pounds per square inch, or psi.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "F in pounds = 982.0 * 0.2248 = 220.7536
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "radius in inches = 2/2.540 = 0.7874
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A in square inches of the circular surface = pi * (0.7874)^2 = 1.9478
