How many pounds per square inch it does it take to lift ten stone in weight into the air?
That all depends on how many square inches you have, to which to apply the pressure, my boy.
If you can only press on one square inch, then you must concentrate the entire 10 stone of weight onto that one meager square inch.
If on the other hand, you can spread the weight of the 10 stone over an entire Rugby field, then you shan't require much force indeed on each square inch of it, now do you ?
Whatever the area you have available, the upward force on the entire area must add up to 10 stone. The more area you have, the more thinly you can spread that total force. The amount of force on each square inch is the pressure.
Now be off with you; go study your lessons.

How many pounds per square inch gauge is a column of air at sea level under standard conditions?
The average "weight" of air is about 14 2/3 pounds per square inch. If you had some square "straw", one inch in a side, that reached upwards from sea level to the edge of space, and sat it on a scale (adjust for the weight of the straw!), the column of air - about 90 miles high - would weigh 14 2/3 pounds.
What does it mean when divers watches say they are 'pressurised to three atmospheres''?
An atmosphere is sometimes used as a unit of pressure, meaning approximately 15 pounds per square inch. When a diver descends, the weight of the water above him exerts pressure on his body. At a depth of approximately 32 feet, the weight of the water will amount to 15 pounds per square inch, or one additional atmosphere. So three atmospheres means the diver is experiencing 45 pounds per square inch on his body at a depth of about 64 feet.
What is the scientific notation for pounds of pressure per square inch?
It depends on how deep you go, but can be up to 18,000 psi but you need to be at lest 10km down for that.
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).
What does psi stand for when you are doing air brakes test?
Pounds per square inch.
What does a 24x24 inch patio stone weigh?
A 24x24 inch patio stone typically weighs around 90-100 pounds. The weight can vary depending on the material of the stone, such as concrete, natural stone, or pavers. It is important to consider the weight when planning transportation and installation.
How much does air weigh per sq inch?
Air has a weight of about 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
What is 560psi to pounds?
The "p" in "psi" is pounds. If you are asking what weight would produce a pressure of 560 pounds per square inch, then it depends on what area that weight is on. A 560 pound weight on an area of 1 square inch would produce a pressure of 560 psi A 1120 pound weight on an area of 2 square inches would also produce a pressure of 560 psi.
Do you use psi or lb?
psi = Pounds / sq. inch = unit of Pressure lb = Pounds = Unit of weight
What is the weight of air pushing on an area?
14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
What is the surface weight limitation of the 463L pallet?
250 pounds per square inch (PSI)
What would be the required weight for person who is in height 5.2 inch?
it's about 7 and half stone or 106 pounds
How you can calculate of corrogated box PSI?
To calculate the PSI (pounds per square inch) of a corrugated box, you would typically divide the total weight the box can hold (in pounds) by the surface area of the box (in square inches) that is carrying that weight. This calculation gives you the pressure exerted on the walls of the box in pounds per square inch.
What is 9300 kilopascals in pounds per square inch?
1,348.85 pounds per square inch.
Is the weight of air?
atmosphere
How do you measure the pounds per square inch that a tank is exerting on a floor?
You take the weight of the tank and divide it by the number of square inches that touch the floor. If you have a 400 pound tank sitting on a stand with four legs of 1 square inch each, the tank would be exerting 100 pounds per square inch. If the same tank is setting on the floor and has a footprint of 10 inches by 20 inches, it would be 2 pounds per square inch.
What is the weight of 1 square foot of water 1 inch deep?
One square foot of water that is 1 inch deep weighs approximately 0.578 pounds. This is calculated based on the fact that 1 cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, and since there are 12 inches in a foot, 1 inch of water in a square foot amounts to 1/12 of a cubic foot. Thus, the weight is 62.4 pounds divided by 12, which equals around 5.2 pounds per inch, and for 1 square foot, it totals to approximately 0.578 pounds.
