31 cm = 3.1 dm – wingspan of largest butterfly species Ornithoptera alexandrae; 32 cm – length of the Goliath frog, the world's largest frog; 46 cm = 4.6 dm – length of an average domestic cat; 50 to 65 cm = 5–6.5 dm – a coati's tail; 66 cm = 6.6 dm – length of the longest pine cones (produced by the sugar pine [117])
For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...
The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined in 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 °C ...
The poise (symbol P; / p ɔɪ z, p w ɑː z /) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). [1] It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation). The centipoise (1 cP = 0.01 P) is more commonly used than the poise itself.
In the original study in the UK, [1] one FTU weighed 0.49 g in men and 0.43 g in women. The area covered by one FTU was 312 cm 2 in men and 257 cm 2 in women. [2] Very similar results were found in a Mexico study. [5] The weight of an FTU has been recalculated in Japan, relating to the use of 5 g tubes of ointment with a much smaller nozzle ...
An equivalent definition of the dyne is "that force which, acting for one second, will produce a change of velocity of one centimetre per second in a mass of one gram". [3] One dyne is equal to 10 micronewtons, 10 −5 N or to 10 nsn (nanosthenes) in the old metre–tonne–second system of units. 1 dyn = 1 g⋅cm/s 2 = 10 −5 kg⋅m/s 2 = 10 ...
In the paper and fabric industries, it is called grammage and is expressed in grams per square meter (g/m 2); for paper in particular, it may be expressed as pounds per ream of standard sizes ("basis ream"). A related area number density can be defined by replacing mass by number of particles or other countable quantity, with resulting units of ...
The persimmon (/ p ər ˈ s ɪ m ə n /) is the edible fruit of a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros. The most widely cultivated of these is the kaki persimmon, Diospyros kaki [1] – Diospyros is in the family Ebenaceae, and a number of non-persimmon species of the genus are grown for ebony timber.
