Overview

Engineering reference data for Section Modulus Conversion in statics.

$\sum F = 0, \quad \sum M = 0$

Sum of forces and moments equals zero for a body in equilibrium.

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Force per unit area.

$M = F \cdot d$

Force × perpendicular distance.

Convert 12 in³ to cm³ using the factor from the table:

$12 \, \text{in}^3 \times 16.38 \, \frac{\text{cm}^3}{\text{in}^3} = 196.6 \, \text{cm}^3$
