Metric System

The SI (metric) unit for mass is the kilogram.

SI unis are an International System of Units, a system of physical measurement units based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, and mole. They come with a set of prefixes which indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten.

Something that weighs a ton is equal to other things that weigh a ton, therefore a ton of anything is equal to a ton of anything else. Even if it's feathers versus lead or cotton versus cement.

We use 7 metric Basic Units. They are: Quantity.................Name..............Metric Symbol length.....................meter..............m

mass.......................kilogram..........kg

time........................second............s

electric current.......ampere............A

thermo dynamic......temperature...K Kelvin

substance..............mole................mol

luminous intensity..candela...........cd

Liter for liquids or square meter for solids.

In 60 BC, Caesar entered into a political alliance with Crassus and Pompey that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were opposed within the Roman Senate by the conservative elite, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar's conquest of Gaul, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain. These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse Pompey's standing. The balance of power was further upset by the death of Crassus in 53 BC. Political realignments in Rome finally led to a standoff between Caesar and Pompey, the latter having taken up the cause of the Senate. Ordered by the senate to stand trial in Rome for various charges, Caesar marched from Gaul to Italy with his legions, crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC. This sparked a civil war from which he emerged as the unrivaled leader of the Roman world.

After assuming control of government, he began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed "dictator in perpetuity". A group of senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus, assassinated the dictator on the Ides of March (15 March) 44 BC, hoping to restore the constitutional government of the Republic. However, the result was a series of civil wars, which ultimately led to the establishment of the permanent Roman Empire by Caesar's adopted heir Octavius (later known as Augustus). Much of Caesar's life is known from his own accounts of his military campaigns, and other contemporary sources, mainly the letters and speeches of Cicero and the historical writings of Sallust. The later biographies of Caesar by Suetonius and Plutarch are also major sources.

1 tonne = 1000,000 grammes - really check google!

None, since there can be no conversion. A foot is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a square metre is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at comparisons or conversions between the two are fundamentally flawed.

The metric system was invented in France during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. It was developed to establish a standardized system of measurement that would be easy to use and understand.

Among the first supporters for a metric system was an Englishman, Royal Society founder John Wilkins (1614-1672) in 1668. Gabriel Mouton also supported such a system in 1670. The foundation for the metric SI system (Système International d'Unités) was the "Metre Convention" signed by 17 countries on May 20, 1875.

To change the ABS system on a 1990 Toronado Trofeo, you'll need to locate the ABS unit, typically mounted near the master cylinder or firewall, disconnect the battery, remove the old ABS unit by unplugging electrical connectors and hydraulic lines, then install the new ABS unit by reversing the removal steps. It is recommended to consult a repair manual specific to your vehicle for detailed instructions.

1. The metric system is based on joining one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-, with a base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.

The abbreviation for 'gram' is a lowercase 'G'. Remember: there is a difference between weight and mass. This scale is for mass.

Volume. If you mean "I took some liquid from that barrel over there for analysis; what is the special fancy scientific way of referring to it so that no one who isn't in The Club of Chemistry Geeks will have a clue what I'm talking about?" the answer is "aliquot." (It's Latin for "some" (or "several"), so The Club of Latin Geeks may be able to figure it out also.)

Prefixes in the metric system are used to indicate a multiple or fraction of a base unit. They allow for easier conversion between different units and help to express quantities in a more convenient way. For example, "kilo-" means 1000 times the base unit, while "milli-" means one-thousandth of the base unit.

The SI system (International System of Units) is the modern form of the metric system used in science and everyday life to express quantities like length, mass, time, and temperature. It provides a standard set of units based on fundamental constants in nature, ensuring consistency and coherence in measurements worldwide. Common SI units include meters for length, kilograms for mass, seconds for time, and kelvin for temperature.

i come form New Zealand and we use metric and I'm guessing we use it just like an imperial one but with metric units on it instead of imperial ones. Like with cm,mm etc instead of inches,feet etc.

One metric ton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. The volume of space occupied by one metric ton of materials will vary depending on the density of the substance. For example, one metric ton of lead will take up less space than one metric ton of feathers due to their different densities.

The Metric Act of 1866 was a United States federal law that defined the metric system as the standard system of weights and measures for the country. It aimed to promote the adoption of the metric system in order to standardize measurements and streamline trade with other countries that were already using the metric system. However, the law was largely ignored by the American public and was eventually repealed in 1869.

Measuring. Most of the world use the metric system. Only three countries in the world still have not imposed the metric system as norm; the United States, Liberia and Myanmar. Globally, metric rulers rule.

How do you change metric units?

The unit of liquid volume in the metric system is the liter (L).
