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

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{kip-force}{square \text{ } meter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(pascal\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{kip-force}{square \text{ } meter}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4448.2216152605\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4448.2216152605\left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}\left(Pa\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{kip-force}{square \text{ } meter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4448.2216152605} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(pascal\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4448.2216152605} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(Pa\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4448.2216152605} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(4448.2216152605 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}} = 4448.2216152605\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}{4.4482216152605}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}} \times \dfrac{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}{4.4482216152605} = 4448.2216152605 \times \dfrac{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}{4.4482216152605}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.4482216152605}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{9.290304}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{-2}}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{9.290304}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{-2}}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.4482216152605}}} = 4448.2216152605 \times \dfrac{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}{4.4482216152605}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{4448.2216152605 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}{4.4482216152605}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 92.90304\approx92.903\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{kip-force}{square \text{ } meter}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 92.903}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
