Mass of a substance as a fraction of the total mass kg/kg 1: intensive (Mass) Density (or volume density) ρ: Mass per unit volume kg/m 3: L −3 M: intensive Mean lifetime: τ: Average time for a particle of a substance to decay s T: intensive Molar concentration: C: Amount of substance per unit volume mol⋅m −3: L −3 N: intensive Molar ...
relativistic mass: kilogram (kg) energy density: joule per cubic meter (J/m 3) specific energy: joule per kilogram (J/kg) voltage also called electric potential difference volt (V) volume: cubic meter (m 3) shear force: velocity: meter per second (m/s) weight: newton (N) mechanical work: joule (J)
Conventional mass is defined as follows: "For a mass at 20 °C, 'conventional mass' is the mass of a reference standard of density 8,000 kg/m 3 which it balances in air with a density of 1.2 kg/m 3." The effect is a small one, 150 ppm for stainless steel mass standards, but the appropriate corrections are made during the manufacture of all ...
The stone or stone weight (abbreviation: st.) [1] is an English and British imperial unit of mass equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds (6.35 kg). [ nb 1 ] The stone continues in customary use in the United Kingdom and Ireland for body 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 ...
electron mass: 9.109 383 7139 (28) × 10 −31 kg: 3.1 × 10 −10 [27] muon mass 1.883 531 627 (42) × 10 −28 kg: 2.2 × 10 −8 [28] tau mass 3.167 54 (21) × 10 −27 kg: 6.8 × 10 −5 [29] proton mass 1.672 621 925 95 (52) × 10 −27 kg: 3.1 × 10 −10 [30] neutron mass
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.
See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.
