Convert pound / cubic inch to gram / cubic inch

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic inch to gram / cubic inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = x (\frac{g r a m}{c u b i c i n c h})

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

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{c u b i c i n c h}) = \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = x (\frac{g r a m}{c u b i c i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 2}}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

\frac{5.0}{10^{- 2}} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{5.0}{10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = 10^{2} \times 5.0

Solve

x

x = 500 = 5 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = 5 \times 10^{2} (\frac{g r a m}{c u b i c i n c h})
