Convert meter / square second to foot / (hour • second)

Learn how to convert 1 meter / square second to foot / (hour • second) step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.0 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.0 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

1.0 = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048})

x \times \frac{0.3048}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048} = 1.0 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.3048 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.3048} = 1.0 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.3048}

Solve

x

x \approx 11811.023622 \approx 1.1811 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) \approx 1.1811 \times 10^{4} (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r \times s e c o n d})
