Answer:
100 MPa is larger than 8000 lb/sq. in.
Explanation:
Given that
[tex]P_1= 8000\ lb/in^2[/tex]
[tex]P_2= 100\ MPa[/tex]
[tex]P_2= 100\times 10^6\ N/m^2[/tex]
[tex]P_2= 10\times 10^7\ N/m^2[/tex]
We know that
1 in = 0.0254 m
1 lb = 4.45 N
So
[tex]1\ lb/in^2=6894.76\ N/m^2[/tex]
[tex]8000\ lb/in^2=5.5\times 10^7\ N/m^2[/tex]
We can say that
[tex]P_1= 8000\ lb/in^2[/tex]
[tex]P_1=5.5\times 10^7\ N/m^2[/tex]
[tex]P_2= 10\times 10^7\ N/m^2[/tex]
From above we can say that 100 MPa is larger than 8000 lb/sq. in.
