pound / square meter to
meter of mercury
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } meter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(meter \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(pascal\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } meter}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4.4482216152605\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4.4482216152605\left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(meter \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 133322.387415\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 133322.387415\left(Pa\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } meter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(meter \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4.4482216152605} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 133322.387415}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(pascal\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4.4482216152605} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(Pa\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 133322.387415} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 4.4482216152605} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 133322.387415} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(4.4482216152605 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 133322.387415\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 133322.387415 = 4.4482216152605\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{133322.387415}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 133322.387415 \times \dfrac{1.0}{133322.387415} = 4.4482216152605 \times \dfrac{1.0}{133322.387415}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{133322.387415}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{133322.387415}}} = 4.4482216152605 \times \dfrac{1.0}{133322.387415}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{133322.387415}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0000333644\approx3.3364 \times 10^{-5}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } meter}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 3.3364 \times 10^{-5}}\left(meter \text{ } of \text{ } mercury\right)\)
