11 ft/lbs

12 inch/lbs = 1 ft/lb

that doesnt seem like alot.... especialy since i had to do 22, 51 before backing off again.

what is the equation ?

..... nevermind, i just saw the double 90* part.......

thanks

divide in/lbs by 12 and you get ft/lbs... multiply ft/lbs by 12 and you get in/lbs... yes its that easy.

Does anyone teach dimensional analysis anymore?
I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's a simple skill you can teach a high school kid in an hour or so, and will come in handy for the rest of your life.

RaceFaceXC · 02-28-2008, 09:57 PM

haha, no prob. hope it helps.

Old enough to drive yet cannot convert in/lbs to ft/lbs. You would have been much better off with N m to ft/lbs.

12:1 or 1:12

No, schools just expect you to cheat and use google to get your answer any way.

Dimensional analysis comes in handy a lot, especially as a biochem major

Mechanical Engineers like myself use it a lot also, pretty sure every class i have taken has involved dimensional analysis
