  2. Unit of volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_volume

    6 volumetric measures from the mens ponderia in Pompeii, a municipal institution for the control of weights and measures (79 A. D.). A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions.

  3. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

    The volume of the Melbourne Cricket Ground is 1,574,000 cubic metres, or about 630 Olympic swimming pools. [56] Its seating capacity (100,000 as of July 2019) is also used as a unit measure of the number of people. Sydney Harbour Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) A unit of volume used in Australia for

  5. 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.

  6. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.

    When a barn (a very small unit of area used for measuring the cross sectional area of atomic nuclei) is multiplied by a megaparsec (a very large unit of length used for measuring the distances between galaxies), the result is a human-scaled unit of volume approximately equal to 2 ⁄ 3 of a teaspoon (about 3 mL). [30] [31]

  8. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    In this case, the unit is the centimeter cubed per gram (cm 3 /g or cm 3 ·g −1). To convert m 3 /kg to cm 3 /g, multiply by 1000; conversely, multiply by 0.001. Specific volume is inversely proportional to density. If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half.

  9. Cubic inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_inch

    It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch long which is equivalent to 1/231 of a US gallon. [ 1 ] The cubic inch and the cubic foot are used as units of volume in the United States , although the common SI units of volume, the liter , milliliter , and cubic meter , are also used ...
