Convert Slug per Foot Second to Pound-force Second per Square Foot

Enter the number of slugs per foot second that you want to convert to pound-force seconds per square foot.

1 slug/(ft·s) (slugs per foot second) = 1 lbf·s/ft² (pound-force seconds per square foot)

How to Convert Slugs per Foot Second to Pound-force Seconds per Square Foot

The slug per foot second and pound-force second per square foot are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 slug per foot second equals exactly 1 pound-force seconds per square foot. This means to convert slugs per foot second to pound-force seconds per square foot, you multiply by 1.

Formula

pound-force seconds per square foot = slugs per foot second × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to pound-force seconds per square foot:

1
Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to pound-force seconds per square foot

We need to convert slugs per foot second to pound-force seconds per square foot

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 slug/(ft·s) = 1 lbf·s/ft², multiply by 1

5 × 1 = 5

Answer

5 slug/(ft·s) = 5 lbf·s/ft²
