Convert Foot per minute to Meter per second
Unit definitions
Foot per minute
Foot per minute is the distance traveled in feet in one minute.
Meter per second
Meter per second is the standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It is also known as metre per second (UK).
How to convert Foot per minute to Meter per second
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = \text{Speed}_{\text{ft/min}} \cdot 0.00508$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $30.0\ \text{ft/min}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 30.0 \cdot 0.00508$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 0.1524$$
$$\therefore \ 30.0\ \text{ft/min} = 0.1524 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 2
Convert $85.0\ \text{ft/min}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 85.0 \cdot 0.00508$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 0.4318$$
$$\therefore \ 85.0\ \text{ft/min} = 0.4318 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 3
Convert $105.0\ \text{ft/min}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 105.0 \cdot 0.00508$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 0.5334$$
$$\therefore \ 105.0\ \text{ft/min} = 0.5334 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 4
Convert $150.0\ \text{ft/min}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 150.0 \cdot 0.00508$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 0.762$$
$$\therefore \ 150.0\ \text{ft/min} = 0.762 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 5
Convert $165.0\ \text{ft/min}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 165.0 \cdot 0.00508$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 0.8382$$
$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{ft/min} = 0.8382 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
