Convert foot / square second to foot / square minute

Learn how to convert 1 foot / square second to foot / square minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 0.3048 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 0.3048 (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{s q u a r e m i n u t e}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3048 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3048 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

0.3048 = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

0.3048 = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{1.0} = \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 1.0} = \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{1.0}

Simplify

x = 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Solve

x

x = 3600 = 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (\frac{f o o t}{s q u a r e m i n u t e})
