convert to Pa or atm
Hi. I know the question is closed, but it doesn't matter.
PSI (pounds per square inch) is not in the SI system. It makes sense that the pressure is in PSI in your English text, but in French I would convert it to the metric system. I already find it a bit strange that they mix PSI and mm (mm is an SI unit) in the original. I'd make the conversion in the French text. 1x10^5 Pa = 14.7 lb/sq.in, so you can write
6.12 x 10^5 Pa (the ^5 denotes a superscript)
or more simply, 6.12 atm
