How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Feet to Kilopounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 57.81 kilopounds per square feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per square feet = 0.0069444444444444 kilopounds per square inches
57.81 kilopounds per square feet = Y kilopounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 57.81 times 0.0069444444444444 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 57.81 * 0.0069444444444444 / 1 = 0.40145833333333 kilopounds per square inches
Answer is: 0.40145833333333 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 57.81 kilopounds per square feet.
