1 m – approximate height of the top part of a doorknob on a door; 1 m – diameter of a very large beach ball; 1.29 m – length of the Cross Island Chapel, the smallest church in the world; 1.4 m – length of a Peel P50, the world's smallest car; 1.435 m – standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4 ft 8 ...
In addition to Poynting, measurements were made by C. V. Boys (1895) [25] and Carl Braun (1897), [26] with compatible results suggesting G = 6.66(1) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2. The modern notation involving the constant G was introduced by Boys in 1894 [12] and becomes standard by the end of the 1890s, with values usually cited in the ...
The United States adopted the conversion factor 1 metre = 39.37 inches by an act in 1866. [30] In 1893, Mendenhall ordered the physical realization of the inch to be based on the international prototype metres numbers 21 and 27, which had been received from the CGPM, together with the previously adopted conversion factor.

It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 inch in height at defined conditions. At a temperature of 4 °C (39.2 °F) pure water has its highest density (1000 kg/m 3). At that temperature and assuming the standard acceleration of gravity, 1 inAq is approximately 249.082 pascals (0.0361263 psi). [2]
They are 16 inches in diameter and the barrel is 800 inches long (16 × 50 = 800). This is also sometimes indicated using the prefix L/; so for example, the most common gun for the Panzer V tank is described as a "75 mm L/70," meaning a barrel with an internal bore of 75 mm (3.0 in), and 5,250 mm (17 ft 3 in) long.
Quercus oocarpa is a large forest tree frequently more than 25 metres (82 feet) tall, evergreen or deciduous, with a trunk as much as 100 centimetres (39 inches) in diameter. The leaves are sometimes as much as 45 cm (18 in) long, broadly egg-shaped with numerous small pointed teeth along the edges.
If this was just five years ago, let alone 10 or 20, the prospect of 72-year-old Bill Belichick as a college football coach would have been more about a splashy hire than the promise of great success.
A child's size zero is equivalent to 4 inches (a hand = 12 barleycorns = 10.16 cm), and the sizes go up to size 13 + 1 ⁄ 2 (measuring 25 + 1 ⁄ 2 barleycorns, or 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (21.59 cm)). Thus, the calculation for a children's shoe size in the UK is:
