Unit & Unit Conversion
Summary Sheet
1D
One Dimension
Distance, Length, Width (or Breadth), Thicknesses:

12 inch = 1 foot
Is also expressed as:
12 in = 1 ft
12 = 1 (very useful in the field work)

3 ft = 1 yd (yard)
1760 yd (yard) = 1 mi (mile)

1 m = 100 cm

10 mm (millimeter) = 1 cm (centimeter)
10 cm = 1 dm (decimeter)
10 dm = 1 m (meter)
10 decm (decameter) = 1 hm (hectometer)
10 hm = 1 km (kilometer)

1 in = 2.54 cm

1 mi =1.609 km
Elaboration:
1 mile = 1760 yd
= 1760 x (1 yd)
= 1760 x (3 ft)
= 1760 x 3 x (1 ft)
= 5280 x (12 in)
= 5280 x 12 x (1 in)
= 63360 x (2.54 cm)
=160934.4 cm
= (160934.4  100) m
= (1609.344  1000) km
= 1.609 km ~ 1.61 km

1 m = 3.281 ft
Elaboration:
1 m = 100 cm
= (100  2.54) in
= (100  2.54)  12 ft
= 3.281 ft
2D
Two Dimension
Area :

1 acre = 4840 yd2 (pronounced as yard square)


Is also expressed as:
1 Acre = 4840 syd (pronounced as square yard)

1 hector = 10000 m2 (pronounced as meter square)


Is also expressed as:
1 Hectre =1000 sm (pronounced as square meter)

1 katha = 720 ft2 (pronounced as foot square)


Is also expressed as:
1 Acre = 4840 sft (pronounced as square foot)

1 bigha = 20 katha

1 Acre = ? bigha
1 acre = 4840 yd2
= 4840 x (1 yd)2
= 4840 x (3 ft)2
= 4840 x 9 ft 2
= 43560 ft 2
= (43560  720) katha
= 60.5 katha
= (60.5  20) bigha
= 3.025 bigha

3D
Three Dimension
Volume :

1 litre = 1000 cm3 (pronounced as centimeter cube)


Is also expressed as:
1 litre = 1000 cucm (pronounced as cubic centimeter)
1 litre = 100 cc (pronounced as cubic centimeter)
Weight
1 lb (pound) = 4.45 N (Newton)

1 kg = 2.205 lb

Unit Weight (γ)


Unit weight is the amount of weight of something having its unit volume; unit volume weight is shortly
expressed as unit weight.

Unit weight of water, the essential matter for life, is expressed as γw.
Unit weight of water (γw) = 9.81 kN/m3 (kilo Newton per meter cube or cubic meter)
= 1000 kg/ m3 (kilogram per meter cube or cubic meter)
= 62.4 lb/ ft3 (pound per foot cube or cubic foot)
= 1 gm/cm3 or 1 gm/cc (gram per centimeter cube or cubic centimeter)

γw form kN/m3 to kg/m3 :


γw = 9.81 kN/m3
= (9.81 x 1000) N/m3
= (9810 N)/m3
= (9810  4.45 lb)/m3
= 2204.4944 lb)/m3
= (2204.4944 2.205 kg)/m3
= 999.771 kg/m3 ~1000 kg/m3

γw form kN/m3 to gm/cc:


γw = 9.81 kN/m3
= (9.81 x 1000) N/m3
= (9810 N)/m3
= (9810  4.45 lb)/m3
= 2204.4944 lb/m3
= (2204.4944  2.205 kg)/m3
= 999.771 kg/m3
= 999.771 kg/(1m)3
= (999.771 x 1000 gm)/(100 cm)3
= 0.999771gm/cc
~ 1 gm/cc

γw form kN/m3 to lb/ft3 :


γw = 9.81 kN/m3
= (9.81 x 1000) N/m3
= (9810 N)/m3
= (9810  4.45 lb)/m3
= 2204.4944 lb/m3
= 2204.4944 lb/(1m)3
= 2204.4944 lb/(3.281 ft)3
= 62.41519 lb/ft 3
~ 62.4 lb/ft 3
