Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world pressure tournament, brought to you by number four from chapter 12.
00:08
I'm your host, jeremy.
00:11
Today, we've whittled our competition down to just four contestants.
00:15
363 millimeters of mercury, 600, 363, excuse me, kilopascals, 0 .256 atm, and 0 .523 bars.
00:27
Let's go to our co -host bob, see what he has to think.
00:32
Our contestants today, they're really going to be feeling the pressure.
00:39
Bob, you're fired.
00:41
Today we'll be ranking these contestants in order from least pressure to greatest pressure.
00:47
Let's go down to our head judge matt, or he'll explain the ranking process.
00:52
Thanks, jeremy.
00:54
So we're going to be starting out just addressing the beginners in the room.
00:58
If you've never converted units before, there's a very basic setup.
01:03
The gold standard is the atmosphere.
01:05
And i have listed on your screen the unit conversions, the equivalencies of atms to millimeters of mercury, kill pascales, and bars.
01:15
And if i want to take our first contestant, 363 millimeters of mercury, and i want to be really, really certain how it compares to our second contestant here, our 0 .256 atmospheres.
01:28
I would do a simple unit conversion where i take our contestant and i multiply that by one atmosphere over 760 millimeters of mercury.
01:46
And i could do this for any of our contestants here.
01:48
I could do it for our kilopascals and our bars where i would put that conversion factor on the bottom.
01:55
That way our units millimeter of mercury, millimeters of mercury cancel, and we have our answer in atmospheres.
02:02
And if you really, really got a close contest, you need to go to the calculator finish, you'd be able to plug that in and find that 363 millimeters of mercury is about 0 .478 atmospheres.
02:19
So right away, we have a stratification in the contest and our contestants.
02:23
We can see that we've got a poor performance from 0 .256 atm.
02:28
So far, that's our lowest pressure and our 363 millimeters of mercury, that's about doubling our previous contestants, a little bit less than half of an atm.
02:47
Let's go ahead and look at our next contestant, 363 kilopascals.
02:51
Now, when you've been doing this for as long as i have, you don't need to do all these calculations...
