Functional residual capacity drops 18–20%, [9] typically falling from 1.7 to 1.35 litres, [citation needed] due to the compression of the diaphragm by the uterus. [ citation needed ] The compression also causes a decreased total lung capacity (TLC) by 5% [ 9 ] and decreased expiratory reserve volume by 20%. [ 9 ]
The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ℓ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).
Volume Unit of measure cubic metre litre Reference size Usage 1 cubic metre = 1 = 1000: base unit in SI : 1 barrel = 0.158 987 294 928 = 158.987294928 = 42 US gallons = 9,702 cubic inches
It originated from China and later spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and other places. [1] One sheng equals 10 ge or 1/10 dou, though its specific capacity has varied by times and regions. Nowadays, 1 sheng is 1 liter in China, [2] [3] 1.8039 liters in Japan [4] and 1.8 liters in Korea. [5] Sheng is a traditional measure for cereal ...
The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
Many traditional wine bottle sizes are named for Biblical kings and historical figures. [5] The chart below [6] lists the sizes of various wine bottles in multiples relating to a standard bottle of wine, which is 0.75 litres (0.20 US gal; 0.16 imp gal) (six 125 mL servings).
A lean 70 kg (150 lb) man, for example, has about 42 (42–47) liters of water in his body. The total body of water is divided into fluid compartments , [ 1 ] between the intracellular fluid compartment (also called space, or volume) and the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment (space, volume) in a two-to-one ratio: 28 (28–32) liters are ...
The statsiemens or statmho is a unit of electric conductance equal to 1 statA/statV, corresponding to ~ 1.112 646 pS. [6] The stathenry is a unit of electric inductance equal to 1 statV·s/statA, corresponding to ~ 898.755 1787 GH. [7] [6] [a] The statfarad (statF) is a unit of electric capacitance equal to 1 statC/statV, corresponding to ~ 1. ...
