How to Convert Slugs Per Cubic Feet to Pounds Per Cubic Feet
Example: How many pounds per cubic feet are equivalent to 47.96 slugs per cubic feet?
As;
1 slugs per cubic feet = 32.17 pounds per cubic feet
47.96 slugs per cubic feet = Y pounds per cubic feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 47.96 times 32.17 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 47.96 * 32.17 / 1 = 1542.8732 pounds per cubic feet
Answer is: 1542.8732 pounds per cubic feet are equivalent to 47.96 slugs per cubic feet.
