Convert lambda to drop

Learn how to convert 1 lambda to drop step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (d r o p)

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

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (l a m b d a) = 10^{- 9} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (d r o p) = 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (d r o p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

10^{- 9} = x \times 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

{10^{- 9}}^{10^{- 1}} = x \times 9.86564670138889 \times 10^{- 8}

Simplify

10^{- 1} = x \times 9.86564670138889

Switch sides

x \times 9.86564670138889 = 10^{- 1}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{9.86564670138889})

x \times 9.86564670138889 \times \frac{1.0}{9.86564670138889} = 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{9.86564670138889}

Cancel

x \times 9.86564670138889 \times \frac{1.0}{9.86564670138889} = 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{9.86564670138889}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 1}}{9.86564670138889}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.010136183 \approx 1.0136 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) \approx 1.0136 \times 10^{- 2} (d r o p)
