  2. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    For example, the freezing point of water is 0 °C and 32 °F, and a 5 °C change is the same as a 9 °F change. Thus, to convert from units of Fahrenheit to units of Celsius, one subtracts 32 °F (the offset from the point of reference), divides by 9 °F and multiplies by 5 °C (scales by the ratio of units), and adds 0 °C (the offset from the ...

  3. Cup (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

    The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...

  4. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L. From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density (+3.98 °C) [citation needed] and standard pressure.

    It was also roughly equivalent to a British tierce [159.1 (≈159) liters, 35 Imp. gals.], a measure equal to a third of a butt. 1 half-pipe [55 Dutch gallons, ...

  7. List of lakes by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_by_volume

    This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.

  8. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    For a water-filled glass tube in air at standard conditions for temperature and pressure, γ = 0.0728 N/m at 20 °C, ρ = 1000 kg/m 3, and g = 9.81 m/s 2. Because water spreads on clean glass, the effective equilibrium contact angle is approximately zero. [4] For these values, the height of the water column is

  9. Daily consumption of drinking water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_consumption_of...

    The recommended daily amount of drinking water for humans varies. [1] It depends on activity, age, health, and environment.In the United States, the Adequate Intake for total water, based on median intakes, is 4.0 litres (141 imp fl oz; 135 US fl oz) per day for males older than 18, and 3.0 litres (106 imp fl oz; 101 US fl oz) per day for females over 18; it assumes about 80% from drink and 20 ...
