Convert grain / cubic foot to ton / cubic inch

Learn how to convert 1 grain / cubic foot to ton / cubic inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{c u b i c f o o t}) = x (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c i n c h})

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

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c i n c h}) = \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{c u b i c f o o t}) = x (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} = x \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{3}})

x \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}} \times \frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{3}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.8316846592} \times \frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{3}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{3} \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5} \times 10^{3}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3} \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 3} \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 3} \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 5}}{2.8316846592}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 11} \times 6.479891 \times 1.6387064}{2.8316846592}

Solve

x

x \approx 3.7499369213 \times 10^{- 11} \approx 3.7499 \times 10^{- 11}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{c u b i c f o o t}) \approx 3.7499 \times 10^{- 11} (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c i n c h})
