Metric System
The metric system is an international basis of measurement based on a decimal system. It uses standard base units to name larger and smaller units.

What is 30 feet in metric system?
1 foot = 0.3048 meters, so, by extension, 30,000 feet = 9,144 meters (i.e., 0.3048 x 30,000).
How many kilometers is one British mile?
One British mile is approximately equal to 1.609 kilometers.
Basic unit of length in the metric system equal to 3937 inches?
39.37 inches represents a measurement of length, not of volume. So there can be no unit of volume in the metric system equal to a length. Furthermore, volume is a derived units, not a basic unit.
What is the unit force is measured in?
The unit of force in the SI system is the Newton. 1 Newton is 1 "kilogram meter per second squared". That means it's the amount of force that if you apply it steadily to a mass of 1 kilogram, the kilogram speeds up at the rate of 1 meter per second faster every second. To give you a feeling for the strength of one Newton --- it's about 3.6 ounces. I don't know if there's an official 'standard' unit of force in the US/British system. The ones we use are the ounce, pound, ton, etc.
What does dam stand for in the metric system?
The word DAM in the metric system is dakameter! Hope this helps!
What would you most likely find on a ruler using the metric system?
On a ruler using the metric system, you would typically find units such as centimeters and millimeters. These units are used for measuring length and are based on powers of ten for easy conversion. The metric system is widely used in many countries around the world.
What is the price per acre of 586412 square miles?
To compute the price per acre, we first convert square miles to acres. Since there are 640 acres in a square mile, we multiply 586,412 square miles by 640 to get the total number of acres. Once we have the total number of acres, we can calculate the price per acre by dividing the total price by the total number of acres.
How many pounds are in 0.34 kilograms?
One kilogram is 2.2 pounds (0.2 pounds is 3.2 ounces).
0.34kg is 0.34/2.2 = 0.7 pounds (11.2 ounces).
CBM stands for "cubic meters." It is a unit of measurement used to quantify the volume of an object or space in the metric system.
Disadvantages of using metric system?
a. The basic units of measurement are related to each other.
b. The units are based on multiples of ten.
c. The units are used internationally.
d. It was designed in France in 1791.
D. is the correct answer.
God bless.
In the metric system what is the prefix for 1000?
Cent. For example;
- Centimeters (100 in a meter)
- PerCent (parts of 100)
- Centurion (leader of 100)
- Cent (100 in a euro/dollar/any other currency)
- Century (100 consecutive years)
- Centipede (said to have 100 legs)
How to convert metric u-value to imperial unit?
To convert a metric U-value to imperial units, you can use the conversion factor 5.678 to convert W/(m^2K) to BTU/(hrft^2*°F) where W is watts, m is meters, K is Kelvin, BTU is British Thermal Units, ft is feet, and °F is Fahrenheit. Multiply the metric U-value by 5.678 to get the U-value in imperial units.
Chart for metric capacity and mass conversions?
Mass and capacity are independent of each other. A more massive (heavier) object made of a certain substance -- think gold -- may occupy far less space than a less massive (lighter) one made from a different substance -- think Styrofoam.
But if you have objects made of the same substance, then a relationship between the two attributes can be established. The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume is called its mass density. The formula is simple: P = m/v, where P (the Greek letter rho) is the density. For example, if you have a ten kilograms of stuff and it occupies two cubic meters (of space), its mass density is five kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).
So, to calculate mass density, divide an object's mass by its volume. Further, if you know an object's mass density and its volume, you can calculate its mass, and if you know an object's mass density and its mass, you can calculate its volume.

Why is the metric system used exclusively in the sciences?
The metric system is used in science because it is based on powers of ten, making conversions and calculations simpler and more consistent. Its standardized units also make communication and collaboration between scientists across different countries easier and more efficient. Furthermore, the metric system is more logical and coherent than other systems, reducing errors and promoting accuracy in scientific measurements.
What is the standard unit for volume in the metric system?
The standard unit of volume in the SI system is the cubic meter. However, the most common unit used for smaller volumes in the metric system is the litre (liter) which equals 1 cubic decimeter.
It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance, and the mass of water:
1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4 degrees C.
What is the SI unit for wavelength?
Wavelength is a length. As such, any unit of length is suitable as a description
of wavelength. The SI unit of length is the meter. Along with its multiples and
sub-multiples, the meter is a dandy unit of wavelength.
What is the no-decompression limit for 60 feet or 18 meters?
The no-decompression limit at 18 meters is 48 minutes and that will take you to pressure group S.
This information can be found in any Table or wheel RDP (recreational diving planner) and it is basic. If you do not know how to use this table, you shouldn't really be diving.
If you are in a course, then you will have a lot of time to practice.
Dont forget to dive well within your no decompression limit.
Live on the edge, Dive safe.
What do you get when you measure the capacity of a water glass?
When you measure the capacity of a water glass, you are determining the maximum volume of liquid it can hold. This measurement is usually given in milliliters or fluid ounces. Knowing the capacity of a glass helps you accurately portion and serve beverages.
What does DM stand for in the metric system?
10 millimeters to a centimeter
10 centimeters to a decimeter (not used often)
10 decimeters to a meter
1 000 meters to a kilometer

What is the list of prefixes from lowest to highest for bytes?
The official SI prefixes for multiples have been altered to apply to bytes, where computers have used increments of 1024 (210) rather than 1000 as other metric uses do. The amended names are as follows:
Bit = 1 binary digit
Byte = 8 bits
Kibibyte = 1024 bytes
Mebibyte = 1024 kibibytes = 220 bytes or 1048576 bytes
Gibibyte = 1024 mebibytes = 230 bytes
Tebibyte = 1024 gibibytes = 240 bytes
Pebibyte = 1024 tebibytes = 250 bytes
Exbibyte = 1024 pebibytes = 260 bytes
Zebibyte = 1024 exbibytes = 270 bytes
Yobibyte = 1024 zebibytes = 280 bytes
(Unofficially, the term "brontobibyte" is 1024 yottabytes or 290 bytes)

How much gram is a 50 g butter?
"g" is the unit symbol for grams. Therefore, 50 g of butter is the same as 50 grams.
Each type of measurement in the metric system is?
Each type of measurement in the metric system is based on a decimal system where units are related by powers of 10. The three main types of measurements in the metric system are length (meter), mass (gram), and volume (liter). These measurements provide a standardized way to quantify and compare physical quantities.
How many liters are there in 1.5 kL?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Liters are three places to the right of Kiloliters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.5 kL = 1,500 L.
