metric and english measurements?

The English system of measurement grew out of the creative way that people measured for themselves.  Familiar objects and parts of the body were used as measuring devices.  For example, people measured shorter distances on the ground with their feet.\n\nWeight:\n\n16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb)\n2000 lb = 1 ton\n\n \nCapacity:\n\n3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 tablespoon (tbsp)\n 16 tbsp = 1 cup (c)\n8 ounces (oz) = 1 c\n2 c = 1 pint (pt)\n2 pt = 1 quart (qt)\n4 qt = 1 gallon (gal\n\n\nMetric system of weights and measures planned in France and adopted there in 1799; it has since been adopted by most of the technologically developed countries of the world. It is based on a unit of length, called the meter (m), and a unit of mass, called the kilogram (kg). It is easier to convert from one unit to another since it is in power of 10.\n\nEx.  10 cm = 1 dm, 10 dm = 1 m,  100 cm= 1 m\n\nMetric to English\nLength:\n\n1 mm = 0.04 in\n1 cm = 0.39 in\n 1 m = 39.37 in = 3.28 ft\n1 m = 1.09 yd\n1 km = 0.62 mi\n\nWeight:\n\n1 g = 0.035 oz\n1 l = 1.057 qt\n\n\nCapacity:\n\n1 ml = .2 tsp\n1 l = 1.057 qt\n\n\nEnglish to Metric \nLength:\n\n1 in = 2.54 cm\n1 ft = 30.48 cm = 0.305 m\n 1 yd = 0.914 m\n1 mi = 1.609 km\n\n\nWeight:\n\n1 oz = 28.350 g\n1 lb = 0.453 kg\n\n\nCapacity:\n\n1 tsp = 5 ml\n1 c = 236 ml\n1 qt = 0.946 l\n1 gal = 3.785 l\n\n\nLength:\n\n12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft)\n3 feet  = 1 yard (yd)\n 5280 feet = 1 mile (mi)

Use the yardstick to finesse the measurements for the singles line (1'6" inside each of the doubles ) in  badmitton. If you spell finesse correctly you can google it.

Any easy way to convert units is to do a google search!\n\nJust do this:\n1. Go to http://www.google.com\n2. Type in "9 km in feet"\n3. Push search and get your answer!\n\nAs an example look here:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=9km+in+feet&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

Physics, major science dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the effects of these forces. \n\nMeasurement, finding the size or amount of some quantity, and expressing it as a number of defined units.All measurement is based on a comparison. In general, the thing to be measured is compared with something that has already been calibrated, or measured against a known reference. However, a measurement is not complete unless it includes a statement of its uncertainty, or the confidence one can have in it.\nUnits of Weight and Measurement\nImperial System\nAMOUNT NAME \nAngular or Circular Measure \n60 seconds = 1 minute (min) \n60 minutes = 1 degree \n30 degrees = 1 zodiac sign \n57.2958 degrees = 1 radian \n90 degrees = 1 quadrant or right angle \n360 degrees = 1 circle \nCubic Measure (Volume) \n1,728 cubic inches (cu in) = 1 cubic foot (cu ft) \n27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard (cu yd) \n231 cubic inches = 1 US gallon (gal) \n277.27 cubic inches = 1 British imperial gallon (i gal) \n2,150.42 cubic inches = 1 US bushel (bu) \n2,219.36 cubic inches = 1 British imperial bushel (i bu) \nDry Measure (Capacity) \n2 pints = 1 quart \n8 quarts = 1 peck (pk) \n4 pecks = 1 bushel \nLinear Measure (Length) \n1,000 mils = 1 inch (in) \n12 inches = 1 foot (ft) \n3 feet = 1 yard (yd) \n5.5 yards = 1 rod (rd) \n40 rods = 1 furlong (fur) \n8 furlongs = 1 mile (mi) \n5,280 feet = 1 mile \n3 miles = 1 league (l) \nLiquid Measure (Capacity) \n4 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 gill (gi) \n4 gills = 1 pint (pt) \n2 pints = 1 quart (qt) \n4 quarts = 1 gallon (gal) \nMariners’ Measure \n6 feet = 1 fathom (fath) \n120 fathoms = 1 cable’s length (US Navy) \n1,852 metres = 1 nautical mile (n mi) \n1 nautical mile per hour (n mph) = 1 knot (k) \nPaper Measure \n25 sheets = 1 quire (qr) \n20 quires = 1 standard ream (rm) \n516 sheets = 1 printers’ ream \n2 reams = 1 bundle (bdl) \n4 bundles = 1 case (c) \nPrinters’ Measure (Typography) \n0.013837 inches = 1 point \n12 points = 1 pica \nSquare Measure (Area) \n144 square inches (sq in) = 1 square foot (sq ft) \n9 square feet = 1 square yard (sq yd) \n30.25 square yards = 1 square rod (sq rd) \n160 square rods = 1 acre \n640 acres = 1 square mile (sq mi) \nSurveyors’ Measure \n7.92 inches = 1 link (li) \n66 feet = 1 chain \n80 chains = 1 mile \nWood Measure \n144 cubic inches (1' x 1' x 1'') = 1 board foot (bd ft) \n16 cubic feet (4' x 4' x 1') = 1 cord foot (cd ft) \n8 cord feet = 1 cord (cd) \nWEIGHTS \nWeight (Apothecaries’) \n20 grains = 1 scruple (s ap) \n3 scruples = 1 dram (dr ap) \n8 drams = 1 ounce (oz ap) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb ap) \nWeight (Avoirdupois) \n27.3438 grains = 1 dram (dr) \n16 drams = 1 ounce (oz) \n16 ounces = 1 pound (lb) \n14 pounds = 1 stone \n100 pounds = 1 hundredweight (cwt) \n8 stones = 1 long hundredweight \n(l cwt) \n2,000 pounds = 1 short ton (ST) \n2,240 pounds = 1 long ton (LT) or 20 (l cwt) \nWeight (Troy) \n24 grains = 1 pennyweight (dwt) \n20 pennyweights = 1 ounce (oz t) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb t) \n\nMiscellaneous Units\nWEIGHT/MEASURE UNITS \nAbsolute zero = -273.15o C (-459.67o F) \n1 atmosphere = 760 mm of mercury \n1 cup = 10 fluid ounces \n1 carat (international) = 200 milligrams (gem weight) \n1 megaton = 1,000,000 tons \n3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon \n1 angstrom unit = 0.1 nanometre \n1 bolt of cloth = 40 yards \n1 gross = 12 dozen, or 144 \n1 light-year = 9.46 x 1012 km \n(5.88 x 1012 mi) \n1 tablespoon = 1/2 fluid ounce

It usually depends on who your customer is.  If you mean metric or inches.  Automotive, Medical uses metric, but most other industries still use inches.  I am automotive mostly we use ISO as a dimensioning Standard

Sooo easy look 100cm=1meter so you can do the math!I'll give the the answer anywayz it's 350cm!

I used Princeton, knew it well, and got a 5. Just remember to SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK - including the dimensional analysis (converting between units by multiplying by 1, e.g. to find 3 inches in cm, do (3 in)*(2.54 cm)/(1 in)). Good luck.

The word you're looking for is "measured"..?

try the conversion table. europe uses metrics

Not completely sure I follow the question.  But if you are trying to store parameters, repeating units, etc.. I would recommend a generic "code" table that can house multiple types of values.  You could have a table with a Type, subtype, values and description that could hold all kinds of values.  \n\nType: Construction\nSubType: tool\nValue: hammer\nDesc: tool to pound on things\n\nnext record\nType: Construction\nSubType: measurement\nValue: inches\nDesc: english measurement\n\nnext record\nType: Construction\nSubType: measurement\nValue: centimeters\nDesc: metric measurement\n\nnext record\nType: Query\nSubType: Parameter\nValue: RunDate\nDesc: Time surrounding query execution\n\n\nAnd so on and so on.....\n\nselect * from code_table where Type = 'Construction'\nand SubType = 'measurement'\n\nIt is easy to replicate, extend and edit.\n\nGood Luck in pursuing your answers.

England....they predate the metric system, for example a "foot" is roughly the length of an adult male's foot.\nNot sure why we don't use the metric system.  There was a big push to switch when I was in elementary school, but it never happened.

Best site I've found is:\n\nhttp://www.metric-conversions.org/\n\nAs it has downloadable tables, an online calculator and also you can put one on your website.\n\nAlternately:\n\nhttp://www.onlineconversion.com/\n\nhas a wide range but is stuffed with ads (also has a downloadable converter with free 45 day trial)
