Examples

1

A treadmill is set to a speed of 3 feet per minute.
Convert this speed from feet per minute to Meter/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in foot/minute is:

Speed(Foot/minute) = 3

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from foot/minute to meter/second is:

Speed(Meter/second) = Speed(Foot/minute) / 196.8503937

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Foot/minute) = 3 in the above formula.

Speed(Meter/second) = 3 / 196.8503937

Speed(Meter/second) = 0.01524

Final Answer:

Therefore, 3 ft/min is equal to 0.01524 m/s.

The speed is 0.01524 m/s, in meter/second.

2

A lift moves at a speed of 20 feet per minute.
Convert this speed from feet per minute to Meter/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in foot/minute is:

Speed(Foot/minute) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from foot/minute to meter/second is:

Speed(Meter/second) = Speed(Foot/minute) / 196.8503937

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Foot/minute) = 20 in the above formula.

Speed(Meter/second) = 20 / 196.8503937

Speed(Meter/second) = 0.1016

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 ft/min is equal to 0.1016 m/s.

The speed is 0.1016 m/s, in meter/second.

Foot/minute

The foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed describing how many feet an object moves in one minute. It is commonly used in industrial settings, such as measuring the speed of machines, escalators, or conveyor belts.

Meter/second

The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the metric system, representing the distance traveled in meters over one second. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe how quickly an object is moving or how fast a process is occurring. This unit is fundamental in scientific contexts, where precise measurements of speed are required.
