Chapter 3, Problem 54E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Each of the given units is to be converted into the desired given units.

Concept introduction: To convert a quantity $a{u}_1$ from one unit to another, i.e., $u_1\to u_2,$ first write a conversion factor $\frac{u_2}{u_1}$.

Multiply the conversion factor with the given quantity $a{u}_1$ and cancel units to get the quantity in desired unit.

$a\cancel{u_1}\times \frac{u_2}{\cancel{u_1}}=a{u}_2$
