Convert truss to quarter

Learn how to convert 1 truss to quarter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t r u s s) = x (q u a r t e r)

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

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (t r u s s) = 16.32932532 (k i l o g r a m) = 16.32932532 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (q u a r t e r) = 254.0117272 (k i l o g r a m) = 254.0117272 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t r u s s) = x (q u a r t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 16.32932532 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 254.0117272 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 16.32932532 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 254.0117272 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 16.32932532 \cdot (k g) = x \times 254.0117272 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

16.32932532 = x \times 254.0117272

Switch sides

x \times 254.0117272 = 16.32932532

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{254.0117272})

x \times 254.0117272 \times \frac{1.0}{254.0117272} = 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{254.0117272}

Cancel

x \times 254.0117272 \times \frac{1.0}{254.0117272} = 16.32932532 \times \frac{1.0}{254.0117272}

Simplify

x = \frac{16.32932532}{254.0117272}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0642857143 \approx 6.4286 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t r u s s) \approx 6.4286 \times 10^{- 2} (q u a r t e r)
