ok for some reasons i can't get the answer for this dimensionally consistent.

1.The density of a substance is given by the equation:

ρ=70.5exp(8.27x10^-7P)

where:
ρ=Density [lbm/ft3]
P=Pressure[lbf/in2]

i) what are the units of 70.5 and 8.27x10^-7 ?
ii) calculate the density in g/cm3 for a pressure of 9.0x10^6 N/m2.
iii) derive a formula for ρ(g/cm3) as a function of P (N/m2).

unklerhaukus · Answer

the exponent:   8.27x10^-7P
should have units that cancel away,

i.e. the units of 8.27x10^-7,
must be inverse to the units of P

unklerhaukus · Answer

the units of 70.5
will be that same a s the units of ρ
