Homework Statement


Mass =0.908kg
Area= 5.3 x 10^-4 m^2


2. Attempt
This was for a lab I am doing on gas laws. Its asking to calculate exerted pressure in kPa. This is what I've done so far :

F= 0.908kg * 9.8m/s^2 = 8.8984N

Pressure = Force/ Area
Pressure= ( 8.8984N) /( 5.3 * 10^-4 m^2)

Pressure= 16789.43396 N/ m^2

How do I convert that to kPa?
