The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...
The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...
This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot . The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3 ).
Densities using the following metric units all have exactly the same numerical value, one thousandth of the value in (kg/m 3). Liquid water has a density of about 1 kg/dm 3, making any of these SI units numerically convenient to use as most solids and liquids have densities between 0.1 and 20 kg/dm 3. kilogram per cubic decimetre (kg/dm 3)
1.51% (1 in 66) – (1 foot (0.3 m) per 1 chain (20 m)) New South Wales Government Railways, Australia, part of Main South line. 1.25% (1 in 80) – Wellington Bank, Somerset , UK 1.25% (1 in 80) – Rudgwick , UK ( West Sussex ) platform before regrading – too steep if a train is not provided with continuous brakes .
Under Arizona regulations, objects cannot be more than 3% shorter than their advertised length; a "three-foot" sub must be at least 2 feet 10.92 inches (88.70 cm) long. The report also showed the boxes designed to store these sandwiches were 2 feet 10 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (88.3 cm) in length; shorter than the maximum allowable variance.
The world record and the next six best male results (23.37, 23.30, 23.15, and 23.12 by Ryan Crouser, 23.23 by Joe Kovacs, and 23.12 and 23.10 by Randy Barnes) were completed with the spin technique, while the eighth-best all-time put of 23.06 m (75 ft 7 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) by Ulf Timmermann was completed with the glide technique.
