Convert meter of mercury to pound-force / square foot

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m e t e r o f m e r c u r y) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})

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

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (m e t e r o f m e r c u r y) = 133322.387415 (p a s c a l) = 133322.387415 (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m e t e r o f m e r c u r y) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 133322.387415 \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot 133322.387415 \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 133322.387415 \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

133322.387415 = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} = 133322.387415

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.4482216152605})

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.4482216152605} = 133322.387415 \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times 4.4482216152605} = 133322.387415 \times \frac{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{133322.387415 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.4482216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 2784.4959542 \approx 2.7845 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m e t e r o f m e r c u r y) \approx 2.7845 \times 10^{3} (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})
