Example 1: If a block of solid stone weighs 3 kilograms on dry land and 2 kilogram when immersed in a tub of water, then it has displaced 1 kilogram of water. Since 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram (at 4 °C), it follows that the volume of the block is 1 liter and the density (mass/volume) of the stone is 3 kilograms/liter.
A special case of constant weight codes are the one-of-N codes, that encode bits in a code-word of bits. The one-of-two code uses the code words 01 and 10 to encode the bits '0' and '1'. The one-of-two code uses the code words 01 and 10 to encode the bits '0' and '1'.

Aquifers of the United States are organized by national principal aquifer codes and names assigned by the National Water Information System (NWIS). Aquifers are identified by a geohydrologic unit code (a three-digit number related to the age of the formation) followed by a 4 or 5 character abbreviation for the geologic unit or aquifer name. [10]
