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!

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Alright, so 9 pounds is equal to around 62.06 psi. But like, who really needs to know that? Just remember, 9 pounds can pack a punch, whether it's in your tires or in your workout routine.

Well, isn't that a lovely question! To convert pounds to psi, we need to know the area over which the pressure is applied. If we assume a surface area of 1 square inch, then 9 pounds would be equal to 9 psi. It's all about spreading positivity and understanding, just like painting happy little trees.

psi is Pounds per Square Inch...so 9 pounds per square inch.

For example, basketballs typically read: "Inflate 7 to 9 LBS" which is confusing. They actually mean 7 to 9 PSI, for some reason. So, yes, inflate your basketball to 9psi.

There are approximately 62.4 pounds per square inch (psi). So, 9 pounds would be equivalent to approximately 0.144 psi.
