  2. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_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 ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

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

    The hectometre (SI symbol: hm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters (10 2 m). To compare different orders of magnitude this section lists lengths between 100 meters and 1,000 meters (1 kilometer ).

  4. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    The SI unit of kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m 3) and the cgs unit of gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm 3) are probably the most commonly used units for density. One g/cm 3 is equal to 1000 kg/m 3. One cubic centimetre (abbreviation cc) is equal to one millilitre.

    The siriometer is an obsolete astronomical measure equal to one million astronomical units, i.e., one million times the average distance between the Sun and Earth. [13] This distance is equal to about 15.8 light-years, 149.6 Pm, or 4.8 parsecs, and is about twice the distance from Earth to the star Sirius. [14]

  9. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    In the SI system (expressing the ratio ⁠ E / m ⁠ in joules per kilogram using the value of c in metres per second): [35] ⁠ E / m ⁠ = c 2 = (299 792 458 m/s) 2 = 89 875 517 873 681 764 J/kg (≈ 9.0 × 10 16 joules per kilogram). So the energy equivalent of one kilogram of mass is 89.9 petajoules; 25.0 billion kilowatt-hours (≈ 25,000 ...
