How long in inches is 10.5 mm?

0.394 in

Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula 10 mm*1 cm

10 mm*1 in

2.54 cm=0.3937007874 in

Direct Conversion Formula 10 mm*1 in

25.4 mm=0.3937007874 in

How may grams are in 0.07 kg?

Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). These are the denominations you need to list when converting metric units. Grams are three places to the right of kilograms. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right (same as multiplying by 1000). You will get 0.7 kg = 700 g.

How many milliliters is in 3 kg of water?

A liter of water weighs almost exactly one kilogram. There are 1000 milliliters in one liter. 827 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.827 liters.

So, since a liter of water weighs one kilogram, 0.827 liters would weigh 0.827 kilograms.

827 milliliters of water weighs 0.827 kilograms.

Should America be changed to the metric system?

Of course. Most of the world is using the metric system. Only the US and two other countries use the empirical system which were based observation and experience rather than scientific feasibility. Also metric system is easy to convert and less confusing.

How convert centi meters into squre meters?

There can be no conversion. A centimetre 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 things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

How many kg are in 650 grams?

One kilogram is 1000 grams, so now you can calculate the rest youreself

Why is the metric system preferred over the British unit?

The metric system is preferred because it is based on the number ten (10), so it is easier for people, scientists, doctors, etc. to use.

In addition, the metric system is broken down into smaller measurements, so it is more exact. For example, a centimeter is more precise than an inch.

5 ft 5 inches into meters?

Answer is 176.5 cm or 1.765 m

To convert feet and inches to Meters, first convert the to inches (5ft x 12 = 60 inches) then add the inches (60 + 9.5 = 69.5 inches).
the conversion from inches to cm is 2.54 cm to 1 inch, so multiply the height in inches by 2.54
(69.5 x 2.54 = 176.53cm) . Convert cm to meters by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left. (176.5 cm = 1.765 meters)

What is the non SI unit of volume?

Because volume is derived from length.

Meters ^3 is volume, just like m^2 is for surface area.

What is the measurement used in the metric system to measure temperature?

Temperature is measured in °C (degrees Celsius), or for scientific work in 'K'

K = °C + 273.15

How are cm3 and ml equal to each other in terms of volume?

Because they refer to the exact same measurement. A liter is usually - it gets tricky actually, because there are really several definitions of liter, but the one we usually use is defined as the volume of one kilogram of water. 1 gram is also defined as the volume of 1 cubic centimeter (cm3) of water. This means that 1 gram = 1/1000 liter or 1 milliliter (ml) or (in other words) 1 ml = 1 cm3

How many inches in 16cms?

The answer is 6.3 inches (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from cm to inches, multiply the cm unit by 0.393701.

What is one fundamental units of the metric system?

The metric, or SI, system has seven base units from which all other units are derived. They are;

metre, distance.

second, time.

kilogram, mass.

ampere, electrical current.

kelvin, temperature.

candela, luminous intensity.

mole, amount of substance.

What are two units that can be used for density in metric system?

Density is the measure of the mass of a given volume of a substance. Mass is measured in kilograms, and volume is measured in cubic metres. So, density is measured in kilograms per cubic metre. Because there are a thousand grams in a kilogram, and a thousand litres in a cubic metre, a density of 1 kilogram per cubic metre can also be written as 1 gram per litre.

Is cups a part of the metric system?

Celsius is a measurement of temperature. Celsius takes the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water, and divides the temperature difference into 100 equal degrees, calling freezing zero, and boiling one hundred. The same sized degrees are used to extend the scale below zero and above one hundred.

The SI unit of temperature is the kelvin. the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, and the units are the same size as degrees celsius, so the freezing point of water is 273.16K. Measurements in kelvin are not called degrees.

What is the difference between the metric system and the SI unit of measurements?

Nothing. The SI is the current metric system.

Answer

The 'metric' system is a generic name for a number of different systems based upon multiples of 10. The current, rationalised, metric system is called SI. Previous versions included the mksA (metre, kilogram, second, ampere) system and the cgsA (centimetre, gram, second, ampere) system.

What is so important about the number ten and the metric system?

Metric is measured in units of 10. All calculations of metrics have to do with some combination of 10. In the old English measurements, the units related to each other in more complex ways, and had no one number to standardize the relationship. Metrics does away with learning complex units by always using some measure of 10.

What is the SI unit of work and energy and what is it equal to?

The SI unit is a Joule and 1 joule = 1 newton * 1 metre or 1 kg*1 metre2/1 second2.
