In deflection I need to convert the units to make the problem work is there anyone that knows about this stuff

Question

it is posed in lb/in^2 and decimal feet but I don't know what to convert it to...???

Answer 1

we can't convert the units unless you tell us what to convert to.

If you told us the problem, maybe that would help.

Answer 2

I am afraid you need to be a little clearer in your question.

Deflection is a phenomena of distance based on load and span.  You suggest that lb/in^2 is part of this and that is a unit of stress or pressure.  The two don't quite relate unless there is more to this problem than you are telling us.

I don't see how I can help you without taking a lot for granted or guessing, neither of which I want to do.  I'd like to help, can you restate your question or add some additional details?

Thanks.
