Convert gram / square foot to inch of mercury

Learn how to convert 1 gram / square foot to inch of mercury step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (i n c h o f m e r c u r y)

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

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} (p a s c a l) = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (i n c h o f m e r c u r y) = 3386.388640341 (p a s c a l) = 3386.388640341 (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (i n c h o f m e r c u r y)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 3386.388640341 \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 3386.388640341 \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} \cdot (P a) = x \times 3386.388640341 \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} = x \times 3386.388640341

Switch sides

x \times 3386.388640341 = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3386.388640341})

x \times 3386.388640341 \times \frac{1.0}{3386.388640341} = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304} \times \frac{1.0}{3386.388640341}

Cancel

x \times 3386.388640341 \times \frac{1.0}{3386.388640341} = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1} \times 1.0}{9.290304 \times 3386.388640341}

Simplify

x = \frac{9.80665 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304 \times 3386.388640341}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000311712 \approx 3.1171 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e f o o t}) \approx 3.1171 \times 10^{- 5} (i n c h o f m e r c u r y)
