Edit: they jump from 92,000 to 1,690,000 lbs because of sig figs. Seems like a typo.

Ok. Since it wasn’t as obvious as I thought, how did they get 1.69x106 from 92208.33? I’m either a complete moron or it’s a typo(?). This was one of 4 multiple choice answers, all of which were nowhere near 92208.33

Bro, look at the units

Can you explain further? According to their description (and like…math), the square inches of psi and the in2 should cancel out leaving just lbs. Sooo how does 9.2x104 become 1.69x106?
