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:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)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 (ksource):1 slug·ft² = 1.355818 kilogram square meter (kg·m²)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 lbf·ft·s² = 1.355818 kilogram square meter (kg·m²)
Step-by-step substitution for Slug square foot → Pound-force foot sq. second:V(lbf·ft·s²) = V(slug·ft²) × ( 1.355818 / 1.355818 ) = V(slug·ft²) × 1
Mathematical FormulaValue in Pound-force foot sq. second = Value in Slug square foot × 1Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Converting 75 slug·ft² yields an exact output of 75 lbf·ft·s² in Pound-force foot sq. second. Under higher industrial throughput, 2500 slug·ft² translates to 2500 lbf·ft·s².

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