How can volume be measured in cm3 and ml?
'Dry' volume - is measures in cubic centimetres... 'Wet' volume is measured in millitres.
Why are si units so often in science?
SI units are more accurate than English system units
What measurement of a liquid can you make with a graduated cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid and are generally more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers.
What are the equivalent English units to metric and vice versa?
English (or imperial) units are things like:- Pint/gallon for volume Inch/foot for length Ounce/pound for weight (there are more) Metric units are:- litre for volume metre for length kilogram for weight
How much ml is 80 gams of sugar?
Millilitres are units of volume, grams are units of mass. They cannot be directly converted without more information.
What is the scientific units for measuring mass?
grams or kilograms (more often)
Is volume measured in gal?
it can be but its more often measured in liters
What is the unit of volume for irregular solids?
It depends on the system in which you are working, but the units will be the same as for a regular solid. In the International System of Units (SI units, for short), the unit for volume is m3.
Why area and volume are volume are not considered as base units although they depend upon length?
Either could be but the conversion from length to area and volume, in terms of units, is simpler. Area = Length2 and Volume = Length3. If Area were the base, then Length = Area0.5 or sqrt(Area) and Volume = Area3/2 - not a convenient relationship. If Volume were the base, then Length = Volume1/3 or cubert(Volume) and Area = Volume2/3 - again not a convenient relationship. Length is required far more often than area or volume in other dirived measures such as speed, acceleration, force, power and so on. So having to calculate roots is making life complicated uncessarily!
How do you find the volume of a rectangular pyramid in terms of pi?
If the rectangular pyramid has a base of L x B square units, and height H units, then its volume is 1/3*L*B*H cubic units. You would need to convert one or more of L, B, H into units which incorporate pi, which would be a very pointless exercise.
How are a liquid's mass and volume different?
The mass of any substance measures the amount of 'stuff', and is usually determined by weighing it. The units are often kilograms. The volume is the space it takes up. Volume is measured in units such as metres cubed or litres. The mass of a liquid will be related to the volume via the density. Mass = [volume] x [density] You can change the volume without changing the mass by changing the temperature of the liquid; liquids generally become more dense as they get colder and less dense as they get warmer.
What unit are used to express volume?
liters
