foot / square minute to
meter / square second
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot}{square \text{ } minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{foot}{square \text{ } minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot}{square \text{ } minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1.0} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.0\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(\dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-3}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-3} \times 0.3048}{3.6}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0000846667\approx8.4667 \times 10^{-5}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{foot}{square \text{ } minute}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 8.4667 \times 10^{-5}}\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
