Pound Per Cubic Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft3, or ppf3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in pound divided by volume in cubic foot
Slug Per Cubic Foot (abbreviations: slug/ft3, or slugpf3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in slug divided by volume in cubic foot
How to Convert Pounds Per Cubic Feet to Slugs Per Cubic Feet
Example: How many slugs per cubic feet are equivalent to 57.09 pounds per cubic feet?
As;
1 pounds per cubic feet = 0.03108 slugs per cubic feet
57.09 pounds per cubic feet = Y slugs per cubic feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 57.09 times 0.03108 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 57.09 * 0.03108 / 1 = 1.7743572 slugs per cubic feet
Answer is: 1.7743572 slugs per cubic feet are equivalent to 57.09 pounds per cubic feet.
