  2. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.

  3. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the name. The inverse operation that consists of finding a number whose cube is n is called extracting the cube root of n ...

  4. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m-1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus

  5. Cubic metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_metre

    the volume of a cube of side length one hectometre (100 m) equal to a gigalitre in civil engineering abbreviated MCM for million cubic metres 1 hm 3 = 1 000 000 m 3 = 1 GL Cubic kilometre the volume of a cube of side length one kilometre (1000 m) equal to a teralitre 1 km 3 = 1 000 000 000 m 3 = 1 TL (810713.19 acre-feet; 0.239913 cubic miles)

  6. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

  7. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    When p = ±3, the above values of t 0 are sometimes called the Chebyshev cube root. [29] ... e.g. the Van der Waals equation of state, are cubic in the volume.

  8. Cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. A cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter in US English) (SI unit symbol: cm 3; non-SI abbreviations: cc and ccm) is a commonly used unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm.

  9. Cubic inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_inch

    It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch long which is equivalent to 1/231 of a US gallon. [ 1 ] The cubic inch and the cubic foot are used as units of volume in the United States , although the common SI units of volume, the liter , milliliter , and cubic meter , are also used ...
