Convert pound / cubic inch to tonne / cubic yard

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic inch to tonne / cubic yard 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{t o n n e}{c u b i c y a r d})

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{t o n n e}{c u b i c y a r d}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} (\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{t o n n e}{c u b i c y a r d})

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{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} \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{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} \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{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{0.764554857984}{1016.0469088})

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{0.764554857984} \times \frac{0.764554857984}{1016.0469088} = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{0.764554857984}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1016.0469088 \times 0.764554857984}{0.764554857984 \times 1016.0469088} = \frac{5.0 \times 0.764554857984}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4} \times 1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 0.764554857984}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4} \times 1016.0469088}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 5.0 \times 0.764554857984}{1.6387064 \times 1016.0469088}

Solve
