Convert gravity to foot / (hour • second)

Learn how to convert 1 gravity to foot / (hour • second) step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (g r a v i t y) = 9.80665 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 9.80665 (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 9.80665 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 9.80665 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 9.80665 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

9.80665 = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 9.80665

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048})

x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048} = 9.80665 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.3048 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.3048} = 9.80665 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Simplify

x = \frac{9.80665 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Solve

x

x \approx 115826.5748 \approx 1.1583 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g r a v i t y) \approx 1.1583 \times 10^{5} (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r \times s e c o n d})
