Lead's close-packed face-centered cubic structure and high atomic weight result in a density [24] of 11.34 g/cm 3, which is greater than that of common metals such as iron (7.87 g/cm 3), copper (8.93 g/cm 3), and zinc (7.14 g/cm 3). [25] This density is the origin of the idiom to go over like a lead balloon.
The report identified two major sectors that had not yet been metricated being: retailing of weighed out foods and many sales by length, volume or area [metricated in 2000] and speed limits and road distance, height and weight signs [not metricated, expect for weight and height signs metricated in 2015].

In the Zork series of games, the Great Underground Empire has its own system of measurements, the most frequently referenced of which is the bloit. Defined as the distance the king's favorite pet can run in one hour (spoofing a popular legend about the history of the foot), the length of the bloit varies dramatically, but the one canonical conversion to real-world units puts it at ...
The largest specimen of this species to be scientifically documented was an animal with a live mass of 71 kg (157 lb). [20] Much larger sizes have been claimed for the giant Pacific octopus: [21] one specimen was recorded as 272 kg (600 lb) with an arm span of 9 m (30 ft). [22]
One of the highest-quality examples of Easter Island stone masonry is the rear wall of the ahu at Vinapu. Made without mortar by shaping hard basalt rocks of up to 7,000 kg (6.9 long tons; 7.7 short tons) to match each other exactly, it has a superficial similarity to some Inca stone walls in South America.

By September 2004, these efforts had reduced the F-35B's weight by over 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg), while the F-35A and F-35C were reduced in weight by 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) and 1,900 pounds (860 kg) respectively. [27] [38] The weight reduction work cost $6.2 billion and caused an 18-month delay. [39]
On average, each horse pulled about 700 pounds (317.5 kg). Each gun in a battery used two six-horse teams (for normal field artillery ; heavier guns required much larger teams): one team pulled a limber that attached to the trail of the gun to form a four-wheeled wagon of sorts; the other pulled a limber that attached to a caisson.
