One ammonam was equal to 203.4 L. [1] One parrah = 1 ⁄ 8 ammonam, oneseer = 1 ⁄ 288 ammonam and the chundoo was equal to nearly half a pint. [2] Maccauly stated in 1818 that to the north of Colombo an Ammonam contained 16 Parahs, and 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 Ammonams equalled one Acre, but that to the south there were 8 Parahs to the Ammonam.
A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 m), used especially for measuring the depth of water. [1] The fathom is neither an international standard (SI) unit, nor an internationally accepted non-SI unit. Historically it was the maritime measure of depth in the English-speaking world but ...

An Olympic-size swimming pool holds over 2 acre-feet of water For larger volumes of liquid, one measure commonly used in the media in many countries is the Olympic-size swimming pool. [47] A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal).
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 ...
From 1630 to 1718 a millia was 5,564 feet (1,696 metres), making a geographical league of four millias equal 22,256 feet (6,784 m or 3.663 modern nautical miles). But from 1718 through the 1830s the millia was defined as the equivalent of just over 5,210 feet, giving a shorter geographical league of just over 20,842 feet (6,353 m or 3.430 ...
