In this article I will show you how to convert 973 cubic yards per minute into cubic feet per second. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 973 yd³pm to ft³ps. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Cubic yards per minute to Cubic feet per second
A cubic yards per minute is smaller than a cubic feet per second. I know that a yd³pm is smaller than a ft³ps because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 973 cubic yards per minute into cubic feet per second, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for yd³pm to ft³ps is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 973 yd³pm to ft³ps by multiplying 0.45000141258899
by the number of cubic yards per minute we have, which is 973.
So, the answer to the question "what is 973 cubic yards per minute in cubic feet per second?" is 437.85137444909 ft³ps.
