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

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = 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}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} (\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}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = 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{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \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{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{60.0} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{60.0} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0166666667 \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{i n c h}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})
