Convert foot-poundal to gallon atmosphere

Learn how to convert 1 foot-poundal to gallon atmosphere step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d a l) = x (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r 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 a l) = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} (j o u l e) = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e) = 460.63256925 (j o u l e) = 460.63256925 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d a l) = x (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 460.63256925 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 460.63256925 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (J) = x \times 460.63256925 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 460.63256925

Switch sides

x \times 460.63256925 = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{460.63256925})

x \times 460.63256925 \times \frac{1.0}{460.63256925} = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{460.63256925}

Cancel

x \times 460.63256925 \times \frac{1.0}{460.63256925} = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{460.63256925}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2}}{460.63256925}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000914831 \approx 9.1483 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d a l) \approx 9.1483 \times 10^{- 5} (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e)
