Tablespoons per second to Cubic kilometers per second conversion

How to convert tablespoons per second to cubic kilometers per second?

To convert from tablespoons per second to cubic kilometers per second, you need to know the conversion factors between these units. Let's break down the conversion step-by-step.

1. Tablespoons to Cubic Meters:

   • 1 tablespoon (US) is approximately 0.0000147868 cubic meters (m³).

2. Cubic Meters to Cubic Kilometers:

   • 1 cubic kilometer (km³) is 1,000,000,000 (10^9) cubic meters.

Given these conversion factors, you can set up the conversion like this:

$\text{1 tablespoon per second} = 1 \times 0.0000147868 \text{ cubic meters per second}$

To convert cubic meters to cubic kilometers:

$0.0000147868 \text{ cubic meters per second} \times \frac{1 \text{ cubic kilometer}}{1,000,000,000 \text{ cubic meters}}$

$= 1.47868 \times 10^{-14} \text{ cubic kilometers per second}$

So, 1 tablespoon per second is approximately $1.47868 \times 10^{-14}$ cubic kilometers per second.

Real-World Examples:

1. Small Water Flows:

   • Dripping Faucet: A slow dripping faucet might release water at a rate of about 1 tablespoon per second. This would be equivalent to $1.47868 \times 10^{-14}$ cubic kilometers per second, emphasizing how tiny this flow rate is when viewed on such a large scale.

2. Cooking and Baking:

   • Smoothie Making: A blender that pours a smoothie out at 2 tablespoons per second would convert to $2 \times 1.47868 \times 10^{-14} = 2.95736 \times 10^{-14}$ cubic kilometers per second.

3. Scientific Experiments:

   • Chemical Drips: In a laboratory setting, a reaction that requires a liquid reactant to be added at precisely 0.5 tablespoons per second would convert to $0.5 \times 1.47868 \times 10^{-14} = 7.3934 \times 10^{-15}$ cubic kilometers per second.

These examples illustrate how small quantities like tablespoons per second translate into the vastly larger unit of cubic kilometers per second.
