The correct Answer is:
To convert the atmospheric pressure from dyne/cm² to SI units (Newton/m²), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the units involved The given atmospheric pressure is \(10^6\) dyne/cm². We need to convert dyne to Newton and cm² to m². ### Step 2: Convert dyne to Newton We know that: \[ 1 \text{ Newton} = 10^5 \text{ dyne} \] To convert dyne to Newton, we divide by \(10^5\): \[ \text{Pressure in Newton} = \frac{10^6 \text{ dyne}}{10^5} = 10^{6-5} = 10^1 \text{ Newton} \] ### Step 3: Convert cm² to m² We also know that: \[ 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \] Thus, \[ 1 \text{ m}^2 = (100 \text{ cm})^2 = 10^4 \text{ cm}^2 \] To convert cm² to m², we divide by \(10^4\): \[ \text{Area in m}^2 = \frac{1 \text{ cm}^2}{10^4} = 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Combine the conversions Now we can express the pressure in SI units (Newton/m²): \[ \text{Pressure in SI units} = \frac{10^1 \text{ Newton}}{10^{-4} \text{ m}^2} = 10^1 \times 10^4 \text{ Newton/m}^2 = 10^{1+4} \text{ Newton/m}^2 = 10^5 \text{ Newton/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The value of atmospheric pressure in SI units is: \[ 10^5 \text{ Newton/m}^2 \] ---
