  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The micrometre (SI symbol: μm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −6 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 ⁠ m = 0. 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists some items with lengths between 10 −6 and 10 −5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometers, or μm). ~0.7–300 μm – wavelength of infrared radiation

    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). [42]

  4. Cord (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_(unit)

    A cord is the amount of wood that, when "racked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching, and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m 3). [1] This corresponds to a well-stacked woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) high, 8 feet (244 cm) wide, and 4 feet (122 cm) deep; or any other arrangement of linear measurements ...

    The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2). The are (a) is a unit of area equal to 100 m 2. The decare (daa) is a unit of area equal to 1000 m 2. The hectare (ha) is a unit of area equal to 10 000 m 2 (0.01 km 2).

    Paragraph LXVII sets out the fine for wounds of various depths: one inch, one shilling; two inches, two shillings, etc. [m] An Anglo-Saxon unit of length was the barleycorn. After 1066, 1 inch was equal to 3 barleycorns, which continued to be its legal definition for several centuries, with the barleycorn being the base unit. [22]

    For example, a length that is significantly longer or shorter than 1 metre can be represented in units that are a power of 10 or 1000 metres. This differs from many older systems in which the ratio of different units varied. For example, 12 inches is one foot, but the larger unit in the same system, the mile is not a power of 12 feet. It is ...

    For example, the NIST document has 1 square mile = 2.589 988 E+06 square meters. The convert template has 1 square mile = 2,589,988.110336 square meters. Values for the fundamental physical constants come from the NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty , either the 2010 or the 2014 version.
