Convert inch / (hour • minute) to inch / square second

Learn how to convert 1 inch / (hour • minute) to inch / square second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e 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 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e}) = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{0.0254 \times 1.0}{2.16 \times {10^{5}}^{10^{3}} \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{3} \times 2.54}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 0.0254}{2.16 \times 2.54}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000046296 \approx 4.6296 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e}) \approx 4.6296 \times 10^{- 6} (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})
