Convert foot of mercury to pound-force / square inch

Learn how to convert 1 foot of mercury to pound-force / square inch 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 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})

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 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (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 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 40636.663684092 \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot 40636.663684092 \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 40636.663684092 \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

40636.663684092 = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} = 40636.663684092

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.4482216152605})

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.4482216152605} = 40636.663684092 \times \frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605 \times 6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4} \times 4.4482216152605} = 40636.663684092 \times \frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{40636.663684092 \times 6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.4482216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 5.8938497696 \approx 5.8938

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t o f m e r c u r y) \approx 5.8938 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})
