Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to stokes:
We need to convert slugs per foot second to stokes
Since 1 slug/(ft·s) = 478802.6 St, multiply by 478802.6
5 × 478802.6 = 2394013
5 slug/(ft·s) = 2394013 St

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.
Stokes (St)
The stokes (St) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1 cm²/s or 100 centistokes. Named after physicist George Stokes. Water at 20°C: 0.01 St, light motor oil: 0.3-1 St at 40°C. One stokes = 10⁻⁴ m²/s. Common in technical literature.
