1 slug/(ft·s) (slugs per foot second) = 478.8026 dyn·s/cm² (dyne seconds per square centimeter)

How to Convert Slugs per Foot Second to Dyne Seconds per Square Centimeter

The slug per foot second and dyne second per square centimeter are both units of viscosity. 1 slug per foot second equals 478.8026 dyne seconds per square centimeter. This means to convert slugs per foot second to dyne seconds per square centimeter, you multiply by 478.8026.

Formula

dyne seconds per square centimeter = slugs per foot second × 478.8026

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to dyne seconds per square centimeter:

1
Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to dyne seconds per square centimeter

We need to convert slugs per foot second to dyne seconds per square centimeter

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 slug/(ft·s) = 478.8026 dyn·s/cm², multiply by 478.8026

5 × 478.8026 = 2394.013

Answer

5 slug/(ft·s) = 2394.013 dyn·s/cm²

About These Units

Slug per Foot Second (slug/(ft·s))

Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) equals 47.88 Pa·s. Uses the slug (mass unit) for consistent force-mass-acceleration in imperial fluid dynamics. Equivalent to lbf·s/ft². Common in US aerospace and mechanical engineering calculations.

Dyne Second per Square Centimeter (dyn·s/cm²)

Dyne seconds per square centimeter (dyn·s/cm²) is the fundamental CGS viscosity definition, equivalent to one poise. Shows viscosity as shear stress (dyn/cm²) times time divided by velocity gradient. One dyn·s/cm² = 1 P = 0.1 Pa·s.
