Convert pound / second to tonne / second

Learn how to convert 1 pound / second to tonne / second 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}{s e c o n d})

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}{s e c o n d}) = 907.18474 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = 907.18474 (\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}{s e c o n d})

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 907.18474 \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 907.18474 \cdot (\frac{k g}{s})

Cancel SI units

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

Conversion Equation

0.5 = x \times 907.18474

Switch sides

x \times 907.18474 = 0.5

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{907.18474})

x \times 907.18474 \times \frac{1.0}{907.18474} = 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{907.18474}

Cancel

x \times 907.18474 \times \frac{1.0}{907.18474} = 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{907.18474}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.5}{907.18474}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0005511557 \approx 5.5116 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) \approx 5.5116 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{t o n n e}{s e c o n d})
