Explain standard atmospheric pressure

Reference no: EM13538935

The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 13.4 . You know that standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 , so the booklet must mean 13.4 above atmospheric pressure. At what temperature in degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"?
