step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{poundal}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(pascal\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}\left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{poundal}{square \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}\left(Pa\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{poundal}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(pascal\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(Pa\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{-1}}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{4.4482216152605}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{9.290304}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancelto{10^{-1}}{10^{-2}}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.38254954376}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{9.290304}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-1}}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(\dfrac{4.4482216152605}{10^{-1}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.38254954376\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.38254954376 = \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{10^{-1}}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{1.38254954376}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1.38254954376 \times \dfrac{1.0}{1.38254954376} = \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{10^{-1}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{1.38254954376}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.38254954376}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.38254954376}}} = \dfrac{4.4482216152605 \times 1.0}{10^{-1} \times 1.38254954376}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{10^{-1} \times 1.38254954376}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-1}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10.0 \times 4.4482216152605}{1.38254954376}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx32.174048556\approx32.174\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 32.174}\left(\dfrac{poundal}{square \text{ } foot}\right)\)
