Convert ton / minute to pound / second

Learn how to convert 1 ton / minute to pound / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{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{t o n}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} (\frac{k g}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k g}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (\frac{k g}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{2}}{6.0} = x \times 0.45359237

Switch sides

x \times 0.45359237 = \frac{10^{2}}{6.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.45359237})

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = \frac{10^{2}}{6.0} \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = \frac{10^{2} \times 1.0}{6.0 \times 0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{2}}{6.0 \times 0.45359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 36.743710364 \approx 36.7437

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{m i n u t e}) \approx 36.7437 (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d})
