OK, pressure 15psi = 7.5 x 60sq (3600)= 27000. 27000 what? pounds, Kg, inches, cubits?
It does help to work through the dimensions, as I was taught to do in O level physics - not only do the answers to such questions pop out automagically but you also get a sanity check. Do they not teach this stuff in schools any more then?
