Convert inch of mercury to poundal / square foot

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(p a s c a l)

Left 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)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3386.388640341 \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3386.388640341 \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3386.388640341 \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

3386.388640341 = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} = 3386.388640341

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.38254954376})

x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.38254954376} = 3386.388640341 \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.38254954376}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.38254954376 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1} \times 1.38254954376} = 3386.388640341 \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.38254954376}

Simplify

x = \frac{3386.388640341 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.38254954376}

Solve

x

x \approx 2275.5481041 \approx 2.2755 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h o f m e r c u r y) \approx 2.2755 \times 10^{3} (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t})
