And I can see what you were going for (only off by 64 meters) which isn't bad for one significant figure.

The day that I mastered the "factor-label" method of arithmetic that my 7th grade science teach forced upon us, I felt like the most powerful man on earth. He had us consistently figuring out how many gallons of water were required to get a metric ton of it, and how many cubic inches that would be. Mike D, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this.

Density = 0.284 lb/inch^3 But the part I'm referring to is the unit analysis which is something like: inch^3/sec = X(tons)/hr * (inch^3)/0.284 lb * (2000lbs)/(1 ton) * 1(hr)/3600(seconds) = 1.956 * X (tons/hr) For this particular thought it was steel. Density = 0.284 lb/inch^3

inch^3/sec = X(tons)/hr * (inch^3)/0.284 lb * (2000lbs)/(1 ton) * 1(hr)/3600(seconds) = 1.956 * X (tons/hr)

Air? Lead? Brains? each of those would have a different Tons/hour conversions. cubic feet/sec of what???? Air? Lead? Brains? each of those would have a different Tons/hour conversions.
