The program is called "The Metric System" and it aired on PBS in the 1970s. The show featured a character named Clive, who carried a knapsack, and he would meet with a boy to teach him about the metric system through various adventures and lessons.
What is 1 horsepower equal to in the Metric system?
1 Horsepower = 746 Watts
There is more than one definition of Horsepower, and they have slightly different values.
Is 4 meters bigger than 4 yards?
Yes; 1 meter = 3.280839895 feet.
1 yard = 3 feet.
Therefore, 3.28 > 3.
However, when you use 4 meters, then:
4 meters = 13.12335958 ft
4 yards = 12 feet
What problems would be created if the US switched to the metric system?
Switching to the metric system in the US could initially create confusion and require re-education of the population. It may also involve significant costs to modify infrastructure, tools, and systems that currently use the imperial system. Additionally, there may be resistance from some individuals or industries who are familiar with the imperial system.
MLD stands for Multicast Listener Discovery. It is a protocol used in IPv6 networks to manage multicast group membership. MLD is similar to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) used in IPv4 networks.
What would you say to someone who said that the metric system is not important?
The Metric System is very important because almost all of
the world uses the Metric System.
It is important to know about the Metric or SI System, the English System, the U.S. Customary System, and the American Engineering System.
What are the dimensions of electric field in SI unit?
It's simply Volts per meter or V/m. Add the usual prefixes such as n,m,k,M,G as appropriate, just like with other SI units.
A good ordinary electrical insulator, such as the PVC on an electrical cable can withstand hundreds of kV/m or put another way, it isolates hundreds of V/mm of thickness and can safely keep its isolation strength for 30 to 50 years of continuous use inside the walls of your home. The insulators used inside compact electronics capacitors sustain even larger field strengths (they are much thinner to increase the electrical capacity), but don't guarantee the ability to safely sustain and isolate those field strengths for half a century of continuous use.
In open air a 100kV high voltage power line on top of 10 meter high poles would create a 10kV/m open air electrical field between itself and the ground below. Those are just some easy to work with numbers, real world power lines are larger or smaller than that.
What is the unit of measurement of force calculated in?
The unit of measurement for force is the newton (N).
What does per capita in cubic meters mean?
As an example, let's say there's a town that has a population of 100 and produces 200 cubic meters of trash each day. "Per capita" means per person. The daily trash output of the town is 2 cubic meters of trash per capita.
In short, it's the volume of something (whatever you're measuring, in my example, trash per day) per person, expressed in cubic meters.
What is the metric micrograms equivalent of 075 milligrams?
I assume you meant 0.075 milligrams. If so, your answer is 75 micrograms. If you meant 075, as in 75 milligrams, then this is 75,000 micrograms. Just multiply by 1000 to get the answer.
126 cm is equivalent to 1.26 meters or approximately 4.13 feet.
How do 5.60 meters in 5.6 meters differ?
The values 5.60 meters and 5.6 meters are the same length, with the former expressing the length to two decimal places and the latter to one decimal place. The extra zero in 5.60 helps to indicate the measurement's precision.
There are 43,560 square feet in 1 acre. The number of hickories in 1 acre would depend on the spacing at which they are planted. Generally, for healthy growth and development, hickory trees are planted at a spacing of around 40-50 feet apart, which would result in about 35-50 hickory trees per acre.
Would the weight of a scarf be in grams or kilograms?
The weight of a scarf can either be in grams or kilograms. The weight will most commonly, or almost always be, in grams because it is a more common measurement. Also scarves are usually not heavy enough for kilograms to be needed. But again, it all depends on the person doing the weighing.
Are decibels imperial or metric?
Decibels are a unit of measurement used to express the intensity of sound. They are not considered either imperial or metric, as they are a logarithmic unit that does not directly correspond to physical dimensions like length or weight.
1 ounce is equal to approximately 29.57 milliliters, which is equivalent to about 2.957 centiliters.
