Convert truss to slug

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(truss\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(slug\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(truss\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 16.32932532\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 16.32932532\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(slug\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 14.5920665429\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 14.5920665429\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(truss\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(slug\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 16.32932532} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 14.5920665429}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 16.32932532} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 14.5920665429} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 16.32932532} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 14.5920665429} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(16.32932532 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 14.5920665429\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 14.5920665429 = 16.32932532\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{14.5920665429}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 14.5920665429 \times \dfrac{1.0}{14.5920665429} = 16.32932532 \times \dfrac{1.0}{14.5920665429}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{14.5920665429}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{14.5920665429}}} = 16.32932532 \times \dfrac{1.0}{14.5920665429}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{16.32932532}{14.5920665429}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx1.1190550202\approx1.1191\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(truss\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.1191}\left(slug\right)\)
