Making measurements and analysing data

Question 5

A student measures the pressure of a fixed mass of gas in a constant-volume container using a pressure gauge calibrated in pounds per square inch ( $psi\text{psi}$ ).

The gauge reading is recorded as $38.5 \pm 0.6\text{ psi}$ .

Convert this pressure reading into kilopascals ( $kPa\text{kPa}$ ), ensuring your answer is given to 3 significant figures. Coordinate the absolute uncertainty in the converted pressure value, giving it to 1 significant figure.

Use the following conversion factors:

$N1\text{ pound of force (lbf)} = 4.448\text{ N}$
$m1\text{ inch} = 0.0254\text{ m}$
