Chapter 1, Problem 27P

For Problems15−28, perform the indicated conversion of units. (Refer to Appendix 16 for conversion factors.) Express the results with the appropriate prefix as illustrated in Tables1−3 and 1−4.

27. One unit used for fluid viscosity in Chapter 16 of this book is the reyn, defined as $1.0\text{ lb}\cdot {\text{s/in}}^2$ . If a lubricating oil has a viscosity of 3.75 reyn, convert the viscosity to the standard units in the U.S. Customary System  $\text{lb}\cdot {\text{s/ft}}^2$ and in the SI $\text{(N}\cdot {\text{s/m}}^2\text{)}$ .
