  2. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.

  3. Centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre

    The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter. A centimetre (International spelling) or centimeter ( American spelling ), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of ⁠ 1 100 ⁠. [ 1] Equivalently, there are 100 centimetres ...

  4. Millimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimetre

    The millimetre ( international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter ( American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length. Therefore, there are one thousand millimetres in a metre. There are ten millimetres in a centimetre.

  5. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

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

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a metre; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_length

    Reciprocal length. Reciprocal length or inverse length is a quantity or measurement used in several branches of science and mathematics, defined as the reciprocal of length . Common units used for this measurement include the reciprocal metre or inverse metre (symbol: m−1 ), the reciprocal centimetre or inverse centimetre (symbol: cm−1 ).

  8. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

    A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...
