Convert (foot • pound) / minute to (foot • pound) / second

Learn how to convert 1 (foot • pound) / minute to (foot • pound) / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{second}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(watt\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0}\left(watt\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0}\left(W\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{second}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.3558180656\left(watt\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.3558180656\left(W\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{second}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(watt\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.3558180656}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(watt\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(W\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.3558180656} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(W\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(W\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.3558180656} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(W\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{1.3558180656}{60.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.3558180656\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.3558180656}}}{60.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.3558180656}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(\dfrac{1.0}{60.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1.0}{60.0}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0166666667\approx1.6667 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{minute}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.6667 \times 10^{-2}}\left(\dfrac{foot \times pound}{second}\right)\)
