Convert pound / cubic meter to grain / barrel

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic meter to grain / barrel step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 m e t e r}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} (\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 m e t e r}) = x (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.45359237 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

0.45359237 = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} = 0.45359237

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{0.16365924}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}})

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \times \frac{0.16365924}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.45359237 \times \frac{0.16365924}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times 0.16365924}{0.16365924 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.45359237 \times \frac{0.16365924}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.45359237 \times 0.16365924}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 5}} can be rewritten to 10^{5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 0.45359237 \times 0.16365924}{6.479891}

Solve

x

x = 1145.61468 \approx 1.1456 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) \approx 1.1456 \times 10^{3} (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l})
