Convert poundal / square foot to pound-force / square foot

Learn how to convert 1 poundal / square foot to pound-force / square foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})

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

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{9.290304 \times {10^{- 2}}^{10^{- 1}}}

Simplify

1.38254954376 = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}} = 1.38254954376

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{10^{- 1}}{4.4482216152605})

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}} \times \frac{10^{- 1}}{4.4482216152605} = 1.38254954376 \times \frac{10^{- 1}}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605 \times 10^{- 1}}{10^{- 1} \times 4.4482216152605} = 1.38254954376 \times \frac{10^{- 1}}{4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.38254954376 \times 10^{- 1}}{4.4482216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0310809502 \approx 3.1081 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) \approx 3.1081 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e f o o t})
