ft/s to cm/s Converter - Foot per Second to Centimeter per Second

Conversion derivation

Express both ft/s and cm/s in the same base unit m/s (meter per second), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite ft/s in the base unit

   $$1ft/s=0.3048m/s$$
2. 2

   Rewrite cm/s in the base unit

   $$1cm/s=0.01m/s$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1ft/s& =\frac{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}{0.01\cancel{m/s}}\times 1cm/s\\ & =\frac{0.3048}{0.01}cm/s\\ & =30.48cm/s\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1cm/s& =\frac{0.01\cancel{m/s}}{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}\times 1ft/s\\ & =\frac{0.01}{0.3048}ft/s\\ & =0.03280839895ft/s\end{array}$$
