How many psi equals 9 pounds?
psi is a pressure and pound is a mass or weight. That is like apples and bananas. EDIT: I think the question refers to a basketball. For example, on my basketball it reads: "Inflate 7 to 9 LBS". This is very confusing indeed, with no mention of pressure. However, they actually mean, in this case, "LBS per square inch" - I don't know why it's not specified, but POUNDS in this case means POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. Hooray for strange ways of specifying pressure!
