Convert kip-force / square foot to gram / square meter

Learn how to convert 1 kip-force / square foot to gram / square meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

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

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} (p a s c a l) = 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (P a) = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} = x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} = \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}})

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}} = \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}} = \frac{4448.2216152605 \times 1.0}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times 9.80665 \times 10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 10^{3} \times 4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 9.80665}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 4448.2216152605}{9.290304 \times 9.80665}

Solve

x

x \approx 4882427.6364 \approx 4.8824 \times 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) \approx 4.8824 \times 10^{6} (\frac{g r a m}{s q u a r e m e t e r})
