Convert kip to truss

Learn how to convert 1 kip to truss step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (k i p) = x (t r u s s)

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

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (k i p) = 453.59237 (k i l o g r a m) = 453.59237 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (t r u s s) = 16.32932532 (k i l o g r a m) = 16.32932532 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (k i p) = x (t r u s s)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 453.59237 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 16.32932532 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 453.59237 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 16.32932532 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 453.59237 \cdot (k g) = x \times 16.32932532 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

453.59237 = x \times 16.32932532

Switch sides

x \times 16.32932532 = 453.59237

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{16.32932532})

x \times 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532} = 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532}

Cancel

x \times 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532} = 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{16.32932532}

Simplify

x = \frac{453.59237}{16.32932532}

Solve

x

x \approx 27.777777778 \approx 27.7778

Conversion Equation

1.0 (k i p) \approx 27.7778 (t r u s s)
