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.

2,771 Questions

What is the purpose of the metric system?

In the metric system, all units are based on factors of ten. This makes converting from large units to small units much easier. The metric system is used in the scientific community and most countries.

What tool to use to find volume in the metric system?

To find volume in the metric system, you can use a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup for liquids, and a ruler or measuring tape for solids to calculate the length, width, and height of the object and multiply these dimensions. Alternatively, you can use a formula specific to the shape of the object, such as the formula for the volume of a cube (V = side length^3) or a cylinder (V = πr^2h).

What is the SI unit for expressing gravitational force?

The "g". One g is the gravity on earth. The force of gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of a g.

Since gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable, gravity can also be measured in the same units used for acceleration. For example m/s2 or feet per second per second. The SI unit for any force is the Newton. The value of g in SI units is 9.81 m/sec2, so the force on a mass m in kg is 9.81 x m Newtons

What are Common automotive metric fastener grades?

Common automotive metric fastener grades include 8.8 and 10.9. These grades indicate the strength and hardness of the fastener, with 10.9 being stronger and harder than 8.8. It's important to use the correct grade of fastener when working on vehicles to ensure safety and reliability.

Are SI and the metric system the same thing?

This is one question where no clear "yes" or "no" can be given. Metric system is a general term for several systems of units. SI is one of them, based (among other units) on meter, kilogram, second. It is in the subcategory of MKS (thus called for those three base units). Older systems (also labelled "metric systems) were often CGS, in other words, the base units included centimeter, gram, and second.

Convert 40inches to metric?

For every inch, it is 2.5cm, so 40inches would be 100cm, or 1metre. Hope that helps

If you walk 2 meters per 1 second how long would it take to walk 500 meters?

If you walked 2 meters in 1 second, then you could walk 500 meters in 250 seconds, or 4 minutes, 10 seconds

_____________________________________________________

Remember DiRT : Distance = Rate X Time Distance D= 500 m Rate R = 2m/s Time T = D/R 300m /divided by/ 2m/s = 150 seconds

1 yard squared is how many feet squared?

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A square foot is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A yard is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

How many grams in 10 kilograms?

1000g = 1 kg, so if you do the maths at the end 10,000g make 10 kgs

What is the SI unit of inertia?

The unit of Inertia is kg and the Moment of Inertia is kg*m^2

Convert one metric measure to another metric measure?

This is the way i convert . K H D B D C M K=Kilo(meters) H=Hecto(meters) D=Deci(meters) B=Basic Unit(Meters in this case) D=Decka(meters) C=Centi(meters) M=Milli(meters) I remember this order by saying "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk." So know lets convert. If you wanted to convert meters into millimeters(B to M) then you would see it is 3 letters to the right.(K H D B D C M)So all you do is take your Measurement in meters(lets say 23.447m) all you would do is move the decimal 3 places to the right. (So now it would be 23.447) But if you wanted to convert meters to kilometers, then you know K is three places to the left of B. So all you do is move your decimal 3 places to the right.(0.023447 Would be meters converted into kilometers.

What is an example of a unit of force?

The unit of force is a Newton and, in an appropriate fashion, it is the weight of an average apple.

The only industrialized nation in the world that does not use metric system of measurement is?

The United States of America is the only industrialized country that does not use the metric system as its primary system of measurement. Of course, scientists use the metric system even in the USA. But most Americans use the English system instead.

When did US adopt the metric system?

Of all countries in the world that has an officially established system of measurement, only Burma/Myanmar, Liberia and the United States do not use the International System of Units (SI). The United States use Imperial units and U.S customary units. That is not to say that SI is not in use in the U.S. The customary units are nowadays defined from SI units. And the National Institute of Standards and Technology uses it. To answer your question: the metrication of the United States is gradual and there is no fixed date where you can say that the US adopted SI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_States

What is the metric equivalent of the .30-06?

The metric equivalent of the .30-06 cartridge is 7.62x63mm. It has similar ballistic performance to the .30-06 cartridge and is commonly used in military rifles and some hunting firearms.

What is the unit of volume in the metric system?

The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the liter (litre). By using decimal prefixes we can arrive at smaller or larger units of measure. It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance and water:

1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4° C.

The actual SI unit is a "derived unit" -- the cubic meter (m3).

The cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters.

What is the inch pound system called?

The inch-pound system is commonly referred to as the English system of measurement or the British imperial system. It is a system of measurement where distances are measured in inches and weights are measured in pounds.

How manyy mmbtu in metric ton of lng?

It should be according to the quality of the gas, but roughly

1 metric Tonne = 48 MMBtu (Downey, M. 2010, Oil101)

1 metric Tonne = 48.7 MMBtu (Foss, M. 2007, Introduction to LNG, pag. 38,

What are all the SI base units?

Meter (distance), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (thermodynamic temperature), mole (substance quantity), and candela (luminous intensity).
There are just seven SI Base Units. These are:

  • metre -distance
  • kilogram -mass
  • second -time
  • ampere -electric current
  • kelvin -thermodynamic temperature
  • candela -luminous intensity
  • mole -amount of substance

All other SI units are called Derived Units.
