  2. Body mass index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

    The BMI is expressed in kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. If pounds and inches are used, a conversion factor of 703 (kg/m 2)/(lb/in 2) is applied. (If pounds and feet are used, a conversion factor of 4.88 is used.) When the term BMI is used informally, the units are usually omitted.

  3. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A newton is defined as 1 kgm/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

    The Rhynland rood (Rijnlandse roede) was a standard Dutch measurement.It was changed in 1859 to the "Cape Foot" due to a drift in standards. 1 Rhynland foot (Rijnlandse voet) = 12 Rhynland inches (Rijnlandse duim) = 1.030 English feet.

  6. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kgm 2 ⋅s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and Δν Cs. —

    The kelvin is defined by setting the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J⋅K −1, (J = kgm 2 ⋅s −2), given the definition of the kilogram, the metre, and the second.

    J = N m = kg m 2 /s 2 W = J/s = N m/s = kg m 2 /s 3 Furthermore, prior to the revision the SI base unit of electric current , the ampere (A), was defined as the current needed to produce a force of 0.2 μN between 2 parallel wires 1 m apart for every metre of length.
