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

Learn how to convert 1 (foot • pound) / second to calorie / second 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{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

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{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = 4.184 (w a t t) = 4.184 (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{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.3558180656 \times (w a t t) = x \times 4.184 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.3558180656 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 4.184 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.3558180656 \cdot (W) = x \times 4.184 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

1.3558180656 = x \times 4.184

Switch sides

x \times 4.184 = 1.3558180656

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.184})

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.3558180656}{4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.3240482948 \approx 3.2405 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) \approx 3.2405 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})
