Atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 105 N/m2. The pressure of the atmosphere in kPa is

Group of answer choices

75.40.

55.20.

101.3.

98.10.

66.70.

To convert atmospheric pressure from \( N/m^2 \) to kilopascals (kPa), we use the fact that:

\[
1 \, \text{kPa} = 1000 \, \text{N/m}^2
\]

Given the atmospheric pressure is \( 1.013 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2 \), we divide by 1000 to convert it to kPa:

\[
\frac{1.013 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2}{1000} = 101.3 \, \text{kPa}
\]

Thus, the pressure of the atmosphere in kPa is **101.3**.

### Correct answer: 101.3
