Metric System

Depending on your location, it might be difficult to come up with a meter stick or a tape measure that displays centimeters and meters. It's probably better to measure it in feet and inches and convert it to metric mathematically.

A common metric unit to measure a bird bath would be centimeters (cm) or meters (m). These units can help determine the dimensions and size of the bird bath accurately.

The metric system is actually widely used around the world, including in most countries outside of the United States. The metric system is based on units of 10, making it easier to understand and work with compared to other systems. The United States has not fully adopted the metric system due to historical reasons and the cost of converting existing systems.

There are several reasons.

One is that conversion up and down orders of magnitude are simple. All you need to do is move the decimal point.

There are usually sensible links from units for measuring one characteristic to that measuring another (though not always). A cubic centimetre (measure of volume) of pure water used to have a mass of 1 gram (measure of mass), though the definition has been changed. Calories, Kelven and Grams are directly linked, and so on.

Another is that almost all countries - developed, and developing use this system. Only some die hards remain. And even with those countries, the scientific communities usually use the metric system.

The measures are better standardised. You do not have the US gallon and the Imperial gallon, several measures of foot, tonne, etc.

The use of the metric system was made legal as a system of measurement in the US in 1866. The system was officially adopted by the federal government in 1975 for use in the military and government agencies, and as preferred system for trade and commerce.

800 Kilograms would equal to 800,000 grams. 1200 kilograms would equal to 1,200,000 The ratio of kilogram to gram is 1:1000. So 800 kg and 1200 kg multiply by 1000 would equal to 800,000 grams and 1,200,000 grams.

Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This means that one milliliter or one gram of water will fit in a one cubic centimeter container.

The width of human hands vary considerably from person to person, female to male. Also, the width will increase if the hand is pressed down flat on a hard surface and then measured. The best thing to do is to measure your hand and use that measurement.

the SI was replaced because the metric system was more accurate and percise.

Because the metric system bases all of its units of measurements on powers of ten, it is much easier to perform mathematical calculations with the metric system than with the English system, which uses a variety of seemingly random ratios of one unit to the next. A mile is equal to 5,280 feet. A yard is three feet, a foot is twelve inches. And so forth. It makes for needlessly complicated calculations.

The litre is defined as being equal to 0.001 cubic metre. Note that the statement is a definition. The 0.001 cubic metre is 1,000 cubic centimeters (cc's), so a litre is equal to 1,000 (or 103) cc's. There are 1,000 millilitres (ml) in a litre, and since there are also 1,000 cc's in a litre, there are 1,000 ml in 1,000 cc's. If 1,000 ml = 1,000 cc's then 1 ml = 1 cc.

No

1 liter = 2.11 pints

1 pint = 0.47 liter

2 cm is less than 4 meters

England has converted to the SI system. There are several basic units:

metre m length

kilogram kg mass

second s time

ampere A electric current

kelvin K thermodynamic temperature

mole mol amount of substance

candela CD luminous intensity

If you are talking about the U.S system, the basic units are as above, and they are converted to feet, pounds, deg F, etc as needed.

The answer is .08 cm

A tablespoon of honey is approximately 23 grams

In the SI system, volume is measured in cubic metres. (m^3)

For smaller volume, this might be cubic mm (mm^3)

There are 1million cubic mm in 1 cubic m

There are many ways that the metric system is more convenient than the English system of units, but they boil down to two broad reasons. The first reason is that it is much easier to convert between different types of measurement in the metric system. 1 milliliter (ml) of water weighs exactly 1 gram (g). 1 ml also has the volume of exactly 1 cubic centimeter (cm). Celsius is also based on the properties of water. 0oC is freezing, and 100oC is boiling. The English system is much more difficult: 32oF is freezing, and 212oF is boiling. 1 cubic foot (ft). = 7.48051948 US gallons (gal). However, a British gallon (or imperial gallon) is different. 1 cubic ft = 6.22883288 Imperial gallons 1 gallon of water weighs about 8.35 pounds (Lbs) in the U.S., but in Britain it weighs it weighs exactly 10 Lbs. So a gallon has a different volume depending on where you are, but metric is always the same. The other way that metric is more convenient than the English system is that metric is always based on multiples of ten, whereas the English system isn't really based on anything 1000 millimeters in a meter, 1000 meters in a kilometer. The same is true for grams and liters. But look at the English system: 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, 16 tablespoons in cup, 2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon. 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile. 16 ounces in a pound, 2000 pounds in an U.S. ton, but 2240 pounds in a British ton. As an example of how much more simple metric than the English system is, see if it takes you longer to figure out how many teaspoons are in a gallon versus how many milliliters are in a liter. ANSWER: 1000 milliliters in a liter, 768 teaspoons in a gallon.

kilogram is the SI unit for mass and weight, as said it measures the weight or mass.

I don't know about the ruler's body parts, they were probably not much different to those of his subjects. The use of the foot as a standard was pretty obvious, we can trace that back to the Romans and it probably went back far earlier. The yard as 3 feet is presumably based on a pace. I'm not sure why there are 12 inches in a foot, but the inch is I think based on the thumb. There are also 'hands' used in measuring horses, 1 hand is 4 inches-try it.

The metric system was invented by the French after their revolution. They divided the distance from the equator to the pole into 10,000 parts and called this the kilometer, the meter and centimeter followed.

So I don't see a connection between the two systems

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) tanks can store more hydrogen in a given volume than compressed gas tanks. The volumetric capacity of liquid hydrogen is 0.070 kg/L, compared to 0.030 kg/L for 10,000-psi gas tanks

150 centimeters = 15 decimeters

SI unit for time is seconds. Symbol used is "s"
