1 Write the following using base units only without the use
1.- Write the following using base units only without the use of prefix:
23.2 kN.s/nm
Remember that base units are: m, K, s, A, kg, cd, mol.
2.- Express the following conversion to three significant digits
265 mph to km/s
3.- Write the following using base units only without the use of prefix:
4.53 x 10-8 Mg/(cm2.s).
Remember that base units are: m, K, s, A, kg, cd, mol.
4.- Express the following conversion to three significant digits
27 549 watts to BTU/s
Solution
1.
23.2 kN.s/nm=23.2*10^3 ((kg m/s^2).s)/(10^{-9} m)=23.2*10^{12} kg/s
2.
265 mph =265 (1.6 km)/(3600 s)=0.118 km/s
3.
4.53*10^{-8} Mg/(cm^2.s)=4.53*10^{-8} (10^3 kg)/((10^-2 m)^2/s)
=4.53*10^{-1} kg/(m^2.s)
4.
1 W is equal to 3.412142 BTU/hr
27549 Watt = 27549*3.412142 BTU/hr = 27549*3.412142 BTU/(3600 s)=7.65 BTU/s
