Convert foot-poundal to thermie

Learn how to convert 1 foot-poundal to thermie step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d a l) = x (t h e r m i 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 (t h e r m i e) = 4.1868 \times 10^{6} (j o u l e) = 4.1868 \times 10^{6} (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 (t h e r m i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (J) = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6}

Switch sides

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}})

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}} = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Cancel

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}} = 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{6}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 6}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 6} \times 4.21401100938048 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.1868}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 8} \times 4.21401100938048}{4.1868}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000101 \approx 1.0065 \times 10^{- 8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d a l) \approx 1.0065 \times 10^{- 8} (t h e r m i e)
