In a nutshell, The following is a partial list of everyday units used to calculate land area in Nepal. [3] [4]1 Khetmuri = 25 Ropani; 1 Bigha (बिघा) = 20 Kattha (कठ्ठा) = 6772.63 m 2 = 72900 sq.ft. = 13.31 Ropani
A Bigha is a customary unit of measurement in Nepal, equal to about 6,773 square meters. Officially, most measurement of lands use units of either Bigha (in Terai region) or Ropani (Nepali: रोपनी) (in Hilly regions). Metric system (SI unit of square metre) is very seldom used officially in measuring area of land.
Katha (unit) Katha or Biswa (also spelled kattha or cottah; Hindi: कट्ठा, Assamese: কঠা, Bengali: কাঠা) is a unit of area mostly used for land measurement in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. After metrication in the mid-20th century by these countries, the unit became officially obsolete.
Table of length units. The Maltese inch. Exactly 55⁄64 imperial inches. This unit is not in the 1921 act. The Maltese hand span, equivalent to the foot. Exactly 10 + 5⁄16 imperial inches. This is exactly 82 + 1⁄2 inches, or 6 ft 10 + 1⁄2 in. It corresponds to the fathom, but was used in both land and sea contexts.
The seven SI base units. The SI comprises a coherent system of units of measurement starting with seven base units, which are the second (symbol s, the unit of time), metre (m, length), kilogram (kg, mass), ampere (A, electric current), kelvin (K, thermodynamic temperature), mole (mol, amount of substance), and candela (cd, luminous intensity).
ligne – 1⁄12 pouce 2.2558 mm. pouce – Inch, 1⁄12 pied 27.070 mm. pied – Foot, varied through times, the Paris pied de roi is 324.84 mm. Used by Coulomb in manuscripts relating to the inverse square law of electrostatic repulsion. Isaac Newton used the "Paris foot" in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
In 1860 Parma, Modena, Tuscany, Umbria, Romagna and the Marches, and the Two Sicilies (Naples) were assimilated into Sardinia and under the Law 132 of 28 July 28, 1861 the metric system became the official system of measurement throughout the (this year) Italian kingdom. [3]
In the metric system, the mass per unit area of all types of textiles is expressed in grams per square metre (g/m 2). The gram (alternative spelling: gramme; SI unit symbol: g) is a metric system unit of mass. A gram is defined as one thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10−3 kg.
