    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [1] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

  5. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    A combination of base and derived units may be used to express a derived unit. For example, the SI unit of force is the newton (N), the SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa) – and the pascal can be defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [6]

  6. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared, or kg·m·s −2.The corresponding CGS unit is the dyne, the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, or g·cm·s −2. A newton is thus equal to ...

  7. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    An SI derived unit is a named combination of base units such as hertz (cycles per second), newton (kg⋅m/s 2), and tesla (1 kg⋅s −2 ⋅A −1) and in the case of Celsius a shifted scale from Kelvin. Certain units have been officially accepted for use with the SI.

    An Olympic-size swimming pool holds over 2 acre-feet of water For larger volumes of liquid, one measure commonly used in the media in many countries is the Olympic-size swimming pool. [47] A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal).

  9. Moment magnitude scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale

    The moment magnitude scale (MMS; denoted explicitly with M w or Mwg, and generally implied with use of a single M for magnitude [1]) is a measure of an earthquake's magnitude ("size" or strength) based on its seismic moment. M w was defined in a 1979 paper by Thomas C. Hanks and Hiroo Kanamori.
