    Archaeologists consider that this 51.85 cm long unit was the origin of the Roman foot. Indeed, the Egyptians divided the Sumerian cubit into 28 fingers and 16 of these fingers gave a Roman foot of 29.633 cm. [5] [6] [7] The Roman foot was divided into 4 palms, 12 inches or 16 fingers. A Roman cubit was equivalent to 1.5 feet, a pace to 5 feet.

  5. Megalodon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon

    Megalodon size estimates vary depending on the method used, with maximum total length estimates ranging from 14.2–20.3 meters (47–67 ft). [ 35 ] [ 40 ] [ 25 ] A 2015 study estimated the modal total body length at 10.5 meters (34 ft), calculated from 544 megalodon teeth, found throughout geological time and geography, including juveniles and ...

  6. Sea level rise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

    In the SSP1-2.6 pathway the range would be 46–99 cm (18–39 in), for SSP2-4.5 a 66–133 cm (26– 52 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) range by 2100 and for SSP5-8.5 a rise of 98–188 cm (38 + 1 ⁄ 2 –74 in). It stated that the "low-confidence, high impact" projected 0.63–1.60 m (2–5 ft) mean sea level rise by 2100, and that by 2150, the total sea ...

    Portrait of Anders Ångström [15]. In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight, in which he expressed the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimetre (or 10 −7 mm.) [16] [17] Ångström's chart and table of wavelengths in the solar spectrum became widely used in ...

  8. Long drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_drive

    Long drive clubs, which are always drivers, differ in several ways from consumer clubs. Until the recent club length limitation rules, the shafts were much longer than a normal 45 in (114.3 cm) shaft, sometimes exceeding 55 in (139.7 cm). In 2005, a 50 in (127.0 cm) limitation was introduced (measured vertically).

  9. Gram per cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_per_cubic_centimetre

    The official SI symbols are g/cm 3, g·cm −3, or g cm −3. It is equivalent to the units gram per millilitre (g/mL) and kilogram per litre (kg/L). The density of water is about 1 g/cm 3 , since the gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its maximum density at 4 °C (39 °F).
