Convert foot of mercury to bar

Learn how to convert 1 foot of mercury to bar step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t o f m e r c u r y) = x (b a r)

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

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (f o o t o f m e r c u r y) = 40636.663684092 (p a s c a l) = 40636.663684092 (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (b a r) = 10^{5} (p a s c a l) = 10^{5} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t o f m e r c u r y) = x (b a r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 40636.663684092 \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 10^{5} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot 40636.663684092 \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 10^{5} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 40636.663684092 \cdot (P a) = x \times 10^{5} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

40636.663684092 = x \times 10^{5}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{5} = 40636.663684092

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{5}})

x \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{5}} = 40636.663684092 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{5}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{5}} = 40636.663684092 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{40636.663684092}{10^{5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{5}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 5}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 5} \times 40636.663684092

Solve

x

x \approx 0.4063666368 \approx 4.0637 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t o f m e r c u r y) \approx 4.0637 \times 10^{- 1} (b a r)
