Convert poundal / square inch to poundal / square foot

Learn how to convert 1 poundal / square inch to poundal / 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 i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d a l}{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 i n c h}) = \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} (P a)

Right 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)

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 2}}} = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 2}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304} = \frac{1.0}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 2}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{9.290304}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304} \times \frac{9.290304}{1.0} = \frac{1.0}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{9.290304}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 9.290304}{9.290304 \times 1.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 9.290304}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 2} \times 1.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{9.290304}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 9.290304}{6.4516}

Solve

x

x = 144 = 1.44 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = 1.44 \times 10^{2} (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t})
