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

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{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{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = 4.184 (w a t t) = 4.184 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.184 \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.184 \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.184 \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

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

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} = 4.184

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1.3558180656})

x \times \frac{1.3558180656}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1.3558180656} = 4.184 \times \frac{60.0}{1.3558180656}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.3558180656 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1.3558180656} = 4.184 \times \frac{60.0}{1.3558180656}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.184 \times 60.0}{1.3558180656}

Solve

x

x \approx 185.15758594 \approx 1.8516 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) \approx 1.8516 \times 10^{2} (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{m i n u t e})
