Convert tonne / hour to pound / second

Learn how to convert 1 tonne / hour to pound / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r}) = 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 n e}{h o u r}) = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k g}{s})

Right 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})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \cdot 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k g}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 0.5

Switch sides

x \times 0.5 = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.5})

x \times 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{0.5} = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{0.5}

Cancel

x \times 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{0.5} = \frac{907.18474 \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{907.18474}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.5}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 907.18474}{3.6 \times 0.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.5039915222 \approx 5.0399 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{h o u r}) \approx 5.0399 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{p o u n d}{s e c o n d})
