Convert inch of mercury to foot of mercury
Learn how to convert
1
inch of mercury to
foot of mercury
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(inch \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(foot \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(pascal\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(inch \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3386.388640341\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3386.388640341\left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(foot \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 40636.663684092\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 40636.663684092\left(Pa\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(inch \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(foot \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3386.388640341} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 40636.663684092}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(pascal\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3386.388640341} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(Pa\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 40636.663684092} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3386.388640341} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 40636.663684092} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(3386.388640341 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 40636.663684092\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 40636.663684092 = 3386.388640341\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{40636.663684092}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 40636.663684092 \times \dfrac{1.0}{40636.663684092} = 3386.388640341 \times \dfrac{1.0}{40636.663684092}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{40636.663684092}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{40636.663684092}}} = 3386.388640341 \times \dfrac{1.0}{40636.663684092}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{3386.388640341}{40636.663684092}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0833333333\approx8.3333 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(inch \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 8.3333 \times 10^{-2}}\left(foot \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
