How do I convert g/cm3 to Kg/ft3?

  • Thread starter NXSmiggy
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses a request for a conversion method for two units and offers a solution using 1000g = 1kg and 2.54cm = 1/12ft. The conversation also mentions that an inch is defined as exactly 2.54cm in the USA and suggests using Google Calculator for conversions.

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a conversion method for these two units.

I'm developing a calculator (simple VBS script) to convert units and was asked by a friend to include this conversion if possible.

I'm Struggling to work out a equation or conversion method that I can use.

All help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Use 1000 g = 1 Kg and 2.54 cm = 1/12 ft (approx).

IIRC, in the USA at least, an inch is defined as 2.54 cm exactly.
