  2. Fluid ounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce

    A fluid ounce (abbreviated fl oz, fl. oz. or oz. fl., old forms ℥, fl ℥, f℥, ƒ ℥) is a unit of volume (also called capacity) typically used for measuring liquids. The British Imperial , the United States customary , and the United States food labeling fluid ounce are the three that are still in common use, although various definitions ...

  3. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    One litre of water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram when measured at its maximal density, which occurs at about 4 °C. It follows, therefore, that 1000th of a litre, known as one millilitre (1 mL), of water has a mass of about 1 g; 1000 litres of water has a mass of about 1000 kg (1 tonne or megagram). This relationship holds because ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    The Imperial gallon was based on the concept that an Imperial fluid ounce of water would have a mass of one Avoirdupois ounce, and indeed 1 g/cm 3 ≈ 1.00224129 ounces per Imperial fluid ounce = 10.0224129 pounds per Imperial gallon.

  6. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water is the chemical substance with chemical formula H 2 O; one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. [26] Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Liquid water has weak absorption bands at wavelengths of around 750 nm which cause it to appear to have a blue color. [4]

    Approximate limit of the gluon-mediated color force between quarks [6] [7] 1.5 fm Effective cross section radius of an 11 MeV proton [8] 2.81794 fm Classical electron radius [9] 3 fm Approximate limit of the meson-mediated nuclear binding force [6] [7] 750 to 822.25 fm Longest wavelength of gamma rays: 10 −12: 1 picometer 1.75 to 15 fm

  8. Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram

    The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined as of 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 ...
