  2. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    On 7 April 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law using six units. Three of these are related to volume: the stère (1 m 3) for volume of firewood; the litre (1 dm 3) for volumes of liquid; and the gramme, for mass—defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

  4. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, due to the gram being defined in 1795 as one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice. [4] The original decimetre length was 44.344 lignes, which was revised in 1798 to 44.3296 lignes. This made the original litre 1.000 974 of today's cubic decimetre. It was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    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 ...

    [20] [22] Once the available water is used up the remaining moisture is called unavailable water as the plant cannot produce sufficient suction to draw that water in. Wilting point The wilting point is the minimum amount of water plants need to not wilt and approximates the boundary between available and unavailable water. By convention it is ...

    the rate of rise of the water level in the hole is recorded; the K-value is calculated from the data as: [8] = where: K is the horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity (m/day) H is the depth of the water level in the hole relative to the water table in the soil (cm): H t = H at time t; H o = H at time t = 0

  9. Cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. A cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter in US English) (SI unit symbol: cm 3; non-SI abbreviations: cc and ccm) is a commonly used unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm.
