Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (kilogram square meter (kg·m²)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 lbf·ft·s² = 1.355818 kilogram square meter (kg·m²)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 slug·ft² = 1.355818 kilogram square meter (kg·m²)

Step-by-step substitution for Pound-force foot sq. second → Slug square foot:V(slug·ft²) = V(lbf·ft·s²) × ( 1.355818 / 1.355818 ) = V(lbf·ft·s²) × 1

Mathematical FormulaValue in Slug square foot = Value in Pound-force foot sq. second × 1Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 8 lbf·ft·s², applying the conversion factor yields exactly 8 slug·ft². At larger operational scale, 1000 Pound-force foot sq. second corresponds to 1000 slug·ft².

Inverse check: 1 slug·ft² = 1 lbf·ft·s².
