Convert calorie / hour to (newton • meter) / second

Learn how to convert 1 calorie / hour to (newton • meter) / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{n e w t o n \times m e t e r}{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{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (w a t t) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{n e w t o n \times m e t e r}{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{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{n e w t o n \times m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (w a t t) = x \times 4.184 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 4.184 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \times 4.184 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 4.184

Switch sides

x \times 4.184 = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.184})

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = \frac{4.1868 \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 4.184}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 4.1868}{3.6 \times 4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0002779637 \approx 2.7796 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) \approx 2.7796 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{n e w t o n \times m e t e r}{s e c o n d})
