Final answer:
The work rate equation to convert kp to kgm/min is 1 kp = 4.448 kgm/s². To convert kp to kgm/min, multiply by the conversion factor 60 s.
Step-by-step explanation:
The work rate equation to convert kp (kilopounds) to kgm/min (kilograms meter per minute) is:
1 kp = 4.448 N (Newton)
1 N = 1 kgm/s²
To convert kp to kgm/min, we can use the formula:
1 kp = 4.448 kgm/s²
1 min = 60 s
Therefore, to convert kp to kgm/min, we can multiply by the conversion factor:
1 kp = 4.448 kgm/s² × 60 s = 266.88 kgm/min
