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

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = 1.3558180656 (w a t t) = 1.3558180656 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.3558180656 \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.3558180656 \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.3558180656 \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

1.3558180656 = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} = 1.3558180656

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1055.05585262})

x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1055.05585262} = 1.3558180656 \times \frac{60.0}{1055.05585262}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1055.05585262 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1055.05585262} = 1.3558180656 \times \frac{60.0}{1055.05585262}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.3558180656 \times 60.0}{1055.05585262}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0771040545 \approx 7.7104 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) \approx 7.7104 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})
