step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(pound-force \times foot\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(gram-force \times inch\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(newton \times meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(pound-force \times foot\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.3558179483314\left(newton \times meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.3558179483314\left(N \cdot m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(gram-force \times inch\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}\left(newton \times meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}\left(N \cdot m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(pound-force \times foot\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(gram-force \times inch\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.3558179483314} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(newton \times meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(newton \times meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.3558179483314} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(N \cdot m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(N \cdot m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.3558179483314} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(N \cdot m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(N \cdot m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.3558179483314 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4} = 1.3558179483314\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 2.4908891 \times 10^{-4} \times \dfrac{1.0}{2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}} = 1.3558179483314 \times \dfrac{1.0}{2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{2.4908891}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-4}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{2.4908891}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-4}}}} = 1.3558179483314 \times \dfrac{1.0}{2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1.3558179483314}{2.4908891 \times 10^{-4}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-4}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{4}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{4} \times 1.3558179483314}{2.4908891}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx5443.10844\approx5.4431 \times 10^{3}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(pound-force \times foot\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 5.4431 \times 10^{3}}\left(gram-force \times inch\right)\)
