Convert flask to truss

Learn how to convert 1 flask to truss step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f l a s k) = x (t r u s s)

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

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (f l a s k) = 34.7 (k i l o g r a m) = 34.7 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (t r u s s) = 16.32932532 (k i l o g r a m) = 16.32932532 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f l a s k) = x (t r u s s)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 34.7 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 16.32932532 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 34.7 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 16.32932532 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 34.7 \cdot (k g) = x \times 16.32932532 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

34.7 = x \times 16.32932532

Switch sides

x \times 16.32932532 = 34.7

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{16.32932532})

x \times 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532} = 34.7 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532}

Cancel

x \times 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532} = 34.7 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532}

Simplify

x = \frac{34.7}{16.32932532}

Solve

x

x \approx 2.1250112494 \approx 2.125

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f l a s k) \approx 2.125 (t r u s s)
