Convert foot-pound • pound force to joule

Learn how to convert 1 foot-pound • pound force to joule step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d \times p o u n d f o r c e) = x (j o u l e)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d \times p o u n d f o r c e) = 1.3558179483314 (j o u l e) = 1.3558179483314 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d \times p o u n d f o r c e) = x (j o u l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.3558179483314 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1.0 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.3558179483314 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.3558179483314 \cdot (J) = x \times 1.0 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1.3558179483314 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

1.3558179483314 = x

Switch sides

x = 1.3558179483314

Solve

x

x \approx 1.3558179483 \approx 1.3558

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d \times p o u n d f o r c e) \approx 1.3558 (j o u l e)
