In terms of infrastructure, there are 556 buildings: 100 for academics, 131 for agriculture, 166 for housing and food service, and 42 for athletics. Overall, the university has 22,763,025 square feet (2,114,754.2 m 2) of total indoor space. [1] MSU also owns 44 non-campus properties, totaling 52,000 acres (210 km 2) in 28 different counties. [2]
Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3). There has been two definitions of the acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), using either the international foot (0.3048 m) or a U.S. survey foot (exactly 1200 / 3937 meters since
A ton-force is one of various units of force defined as the weight of one ton due to standard gravity. [note 1] The precise definition depends on the definition of ...
Following the so-called "quarter-girth formula" (the square of one quarter of the circumference in inches multiplied by 1 ⁄ 144 of the length in feet), the notional log is four feet in circumference, one inch of which yields the hoppus board foot, 1 foot yields the hoppus foot, and 50 feet yields a hoppus ton. This translates to a hoppus foot ...
Just as horsepower and candlepower were intuitive units of measure for people living through the transition from horse to steam power [3] and from flame-based to electric lighting, so was the ton of refrigeration an intuitive unit of measure during a technological change, as the ice trade gradually included growing percentages of artificial ice ...
During the 365 days of the last year, Young ran 370 races that were at least 26.2 miles long. Some of these races were "ultra-runs," which are even longer.
MSU's (private, non-Morrill Act) endowment started in 1916, when the Engineering Building burned down. Automobile magnate Ransom E. Olds helped the program stay afloat with a gift of $100,000, equivalent to $2.8 Million in 2023. [114] There was a time when MSU lagged behind peer institutions in terms of endowments.
