To solve the problem of finding the minimum atmospheric pressure necessary to prevent the blood from boiling at an average human body temperature of 98°F, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius We need to convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius because the vapor pressure data is typically provided in Celsius. The formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) is: \[ T(°C) = \frac{5}{9} \times (T(°F) - 32) ...
