Question

How do you convert $989.27$MPA to PA?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given problem, we should know the conversion formula from megapascal to pascal. By using the conversion formula, we are able to convert any given data from megapascal to pascal. Sometimes, there may be different units given in the problem. For example, they may ask to convert gigapascal to pascal or pascal to gigapascal, kilopascal to pascal, pascal to kilopascal, pascal to megapascal. For all above conversion, we have to use the following formula so that we can easily convert given data into its required units. Now, we can proceed to solve the question.
\[1\] MPA \[ = {10^6}\]PA
\[1\] GPA \[ = {10^9}\]PA
\[1\] KPA \[ = {10^3}\]PA

Complete step by step answer:
Firstly, we are writing the given data which we have to convert as following,
$989.27$MPA
Now, we have to select the formula which we have required to convert the above given data into required units. The formula can be written as following,
\[ \Rightarrow \]\[1\] megapascal \[ = {10^6}\]PA
Now, we know the value of unit quantity. For conversion of unit quantity to its higher number (that is more than one, here it is twenty-three), We have to always multiply the unit conversion value to its required data given in the problem. Therefore, we can write it as following,
\[ \Rightarrow \]\[1\] megapascal \[ = {10^6}\]PA
$ \Rightarrow 989.27$MPA \[ = 989.27 \times {10^6}\]PA
Multiplying at right hand side in above equation, we get
$ \Rightarrow 989.27$MPA \[ = 98927 \times {10^4}\]PA

Note: When we require to convert megapascal into kilopascal then first, we need to convert megapascal into pascal and then pascal will be converted into kilopascal. When given data has its lower unit such that pascal and it would require to convert in its higher unit such that kilopascal or megapascal then we have to divide instead of multiply.
