How to Convert Slugs Per Cubic Feet to Pounds Per Cubic Feet
Example: How many pounds per cubic feet are equivalent to 59.51 slugs per cubic feet?
As;
1 slugs per cubic feet = 32.17 pounds per cubic feet
59.51 slugs per cubic feet = Y pounds per cubic feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 59.51 times 32.17 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 59.51 * 32.17 / 1 = 1914.4367 pounds per cubic feet
Answer is: 1914.4367 pounds per cubic feet are equivalent to 59.51 slugs per cubic feet.
