Convert pound / second to tonne / hour

Learn how to convert 1 pound / second to tonne / hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r})

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

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = 0.5 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = 0.5 (\frac{k g}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r}) = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k g}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k g}{s})

Conversion Equation

0.5 = x \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 0.5

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{907.18474})

x \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{907.18474} = 0.5 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{907.18474}

Cancel

x \times \frac{907.18474 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 907.18474} = 0.5 \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{907.18474}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.5 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{907.18474}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.9841603597 \approx 1.9842

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) \approx 1.9842 (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r})
