What length is equal to 39.37 in the metric system?
That depends what there are 39.37 of...
39.37 inches = 1.000 metre
What is the SI unit of the force?
The Newton is the SI derived unit of Force, which in SI base units is Kg•m/s2
(kilogram-meters per second per second).
The newton. That's the force required to give a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 meter/second2.
The SI unit of force is Newton.
The SI unit of force is kg*m/s^2 which more commonly called the newton (N).
Is pounds is the metric system?
No, pounds is the Imperial system of measurment.
Kilograms is the metric system.
6124 g = 6.124 kg
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
How many kilograms is 465.8 grams?
546 g = 0.546 kg
546 g = 0.546 kg
546 g = 0.546 kg
546 g = 0.546 kg
546 g = 0.546 kg
546 g = 0.546 kg
What is the SI unit for force and height and work and mass and energy?
Each of those quantities has a different SI unit.
They are:
Force. . . . . . . . . Newton
Height (length) . Meter
Work. . . . . . . . . Joule
Mass. . . . . . . . . Kilogram
Energy . . . . . . . Joule (same as work)
How do you calculate the volume in litres of a cylinder radius 30cm and length 120cm?
lets calculate the volume of the cylinder
vol. of cylinder= (pi)r2 h
= 3.142x(302)x120 cm3
=3.142x900x120 cm3
=339336 cm3
convert cm3 in litres , 1000cm3 = 1litre therefore 1cm3 = 1/1000litre
now multiply 339336 with 1/1000 finally the volume of cylinder=339.336 l
What the similarities of Metric System from English System?
They are both systems of measurement in which there are sets of 7 units for measuring physical attributes of objects and derived units for measuring other attributes. For example, Basic units for mass: Kilogram (metric) or Pound (Imperial)
Derived units for area: Square Metre (metric) or square inch (Imperial)
Derived unit for pressure: kg / sq metre = Pascal (metric) or pounds / square inch = psi (Imperial).
What is the name for the temperature in the metric system?
The official unit for temperature in the SI - the currently used version of the metric system - is the Kelvin. In popular usage, the degree Celsius, a.k.a. degree Centigrade, is more common; the Kelvin is used a lot in science.
What are the three basic units of the metric system and what do they measure?
metre - length/distance
litre-volume
kilogram-mass
What type of measurement is both US ssytems and metric system?
The second. Also, several units used with electricity: Volt, Watt, Ohm, and others.
How did people change when imperial measurements changed to metric measurements?
The people did not change. There was a brief period when there was some confusion, and there may have been some profiteering during the transition but nearly everyone came through unscathed. Even countries with poor educational achievement succeeded in the transition. Only the US (along with some minor countries), somehow, is incapable of the switch.
How many 500 milliliters are in 3 liters?
Each litre is 1,000 millilitres. So 500 will fit 6 timesin 3 litres
How do these sports have the metric system in them?
There are no sports listed. However, most sports are now defined in terms of metric measures. Furthermore, athletes' performance is also measured using metric units.
How do you interpret the system of tolerancing?
In order to interpret the system of tolerancing, one must understand that this system is used when designing items that have several parts, and it's these parts that will need a bit of tolerance when assembled in order to work together correctly. If tolerances are too little or too much, the pieces on't fit together correctly, or will not function correctly once the entire item has been assembled.
What does 1hp equal in the metric system?
One horsepower is the same as 746 watts. (A watt is one joule per second).
What does the three basic units in the metric system measure?
Meter. . . . . Length
Kilogram . . . Mass
Second. . . . Time
