Convert foot-pound to watt • second

Learn how to convert 1 foot-pound to watt • second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d) = x (w a t t \times s e c o n d)

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) = 1.3558179483314 (j o u l e) = 1.3558179483314 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t \times s e c o n d) = 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) = x (w a t t \times s e c o n d)

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) \approx 1.3558 (w a t t \times s e c o n d)
