1 Handout Unit Conversions (Dimensional Analysis) This section will cover conversions () selected units in the metric and American systems, () compound or derived measures, and () between metric and American systems. Also, (4) applications using conversions will be presented. Basic units length meter (m) mass gram (g) The metric system is based on a set of basic units and volume liter (L) prefixes representing powers of 0. time second (s) temperature Celsius or Centigrade ( C) Kelvin ( K) Prefixes (The units that are in bold are the ones commonly used.) prefix symbol value yotta Y,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 0 4 zetta Z,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 0 exa E,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 0 8 peta P,000,000,000,000,000 = 0 5 tera T,000,000,000,000 = 0 giga G,000,000,000 = 0 9 ( a billion) mega M,000,000 = 0 6 ( a million) kilo k,000 = 0 hecto h 00 = 0 deca da 0 deci d = 0. = 0-0 centi c = 0.0 = 0-00 milli m = 0.00 = 0 - (a thousandth),000 micro μ (the Greek letter mu) = = 0-6,000,000 (a millionth) nano n = = 0-9,000,000,000 (a billionth) To get a sense of the size of the basic units of meter, gram and liter consider the following examples. The standard height of a door handle or knob is meter. The weight of a penny is.5 grams. Almost everyone is familiar with liter bottles of soda.
2 The next set of examples illustrates the use of some of the most used prefixes. Examples:. milligram = gram = 0.00 gram, or mg =,000,000 g = 0.00 gram. 000 mg=g. milliliter= liter=0.00 liter, or ml=,000,000 L=0.00 L 4.,000 ml = L 5. centimeter= 00 meter=0.0 meter, or cm = 00 m = 0.0 m 6. kilogram =,000 grams, or kg =,000 g 7. kilometer =,000 meters, or km = 000 m 8. microgram =,000,000 g = g, or mcg = g ;,000,000 mcg = g,000, nanosecond = second = seconds, or a billionth of a second,000,000,000 ns = s = s ;,000,000,000 ns = s,000,000, kilobyte = 000 bytes (a byte is a unit used in computers to express the length of a word.). megabyte =,000,000 bytes = 000 kilobytes
3 Conversion Tables The American system of measurements is based on the English system. CAPACITY (volume) gallon = gal = 4 quarts = 4 qts quart = qt = pints = pt pint = pt = cups = c = 6 fluid ounces = 6 fl oz cup = c = 8 fluid ounces = 8 fl. oz (Note: a fluid ounce is not the same as the weight measure ounce.) fluid ounce = fl oz = tablespoons = tbsp tablespoon = tbsp = teaspoons = tsp fluid ounce = fl oz = 480 minims ( A minim is an apothecaries measure.) TEMPERATURE Temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit ( F) (At sea level, water freezes at F and boils at F.) Remember: the metric system measurement for temperature are Celsius ( C) and Kelvin ( K). The formulas used for temperature conversions are F = 5 9 C + C = 9 5 (F ) K = C C = K 7.5 LENGTH foot = ft = inches = in yard = yd = feet = ft = 6 in rod = 5.5 yd = 6.5 ft = 98 in furlong = 0 yd mile = mi = 580 feet = 580 ft = 760 yd = 8 furlongs TIME minute = min = 60 seconds = 60 s hour = hr = 60 min day = 4 hr MASS 47.5 grains = ounce = oz pound = lb = 6 ounces = 6 oz ton = 000 pounds = 000 lb (This is sometimes called a short ton or ton(us). A long ton or ton(uk) is equal to 40 pounds.) CONVERSIONS TO METRIC inch = meters =.54 centimeters yard = meters mile = meters = kilometers pound = grams ounce 8.5 grams grain grams = 65 milligrams gallon.784 liters quart.9464 liters fluid ounce.0957 liters = 9.57 milliliters teaspoon.0049 liters = 4.9 milliliters minim =.06 milliliters tsp = 4.9 ml tbsp = 4.8 ml grain (a small unit of weight) = 65 mg =.065 g C = 9 5 (F ) CONVERSIONS TO AMERICAN meter =.096 yards =.808 feet = 9.7 inches kilometer =.67 miles gram =.057 ounces kilogram = 5.7 ounces =.05 pounds liter =.647 gallons =.0567 quarts F = 5 9 C + F= 5 9 (K 7.5) + K = 9 5 (F ) Milliliters are used extensively in the sciences and medicine. The abbreviation cc is often used instead of ml. The relation of ml to volume is given by ml = cc = cm
4 Areas and volumes 4 Recall that area is measured in squares. One square foot or ft represents the area covered by a square foot by foot. Example: square feet = ft means squares foot by foot. The measure of the area of a rectangle ft by 4 ft is ft since it can be covered (tiled) with squares each foot by foot Volume is measured in cubes. One cubic centimeter or cm represents the volume that can be covered by a cube cm by cm by cm. Example: Find the volume of a box cm by cm by 4 cm. The question is, how many cubes cm on a side can be put into this box. cm cm 4 cm = 6 cm. That is, the box will hold 6 cubes cm by cm by cm. A table could be made for areas and another could be made for volumes. The tables would include facts like ft = 44 in, yd = 9 ft, m = 0000 cm, ft = 78 in, etc. Fortunately, as shown below, this is not necessary. This handout will cover one method commonly used in the sciences to convert units. This method uses multiples of " in a convenient form. Examples: a) 4000 in =? ft Notice that ft = in. We write our " as ft so that in in 4000 in will cancel. in 4, 000in ft 4, 000 4, 000in ft. ft. notice that the in canceled in b) 8 ft =? in Notice that ft = in. This time we write our as in / ft so that the ft cancel leaving 8 ft in only in as the unit. 8 ft 6in ft
5 c). mi =? in From the conversion tables on page notice that mi = 580 ft and ft = in. So we should write our in two different ways 580 ft and as in. Using the first fraction we can mi ft convert miles into feet, while using the second fraction we can further convert the feet into inches. Combining these two we have the following:.mi 580 ft in (.)(580)().mi in 4578in mi ft notice that the mi and the ft cancel. 5 d) cm =? km Just like in the previous example we don t have a direct conversion between centimeters (cm) and kilometers (km). However, both are connected through meters (m). Therefore, we will use the in two different ways: m and km. Using both, we get the following: 00 cm notice that the cm and the m cancel 000 m 46000cm m km cm km.46km 00cm 000 m (00)(000) e),000,000 fl oz =? gal From the conversion tables on page, we see that, pt 6 floz,qt pt andgal 4qt. We have to combine all three of these conversions to go from fluid ounces to gallons: fl oz pt qt gal fl oz gal 78.5gal 6 fl oz pt 4 qt (6)()(4) notice that the fl oz, the pt, and the qt cancel. f) 8 ft =? yd The following is the standard method for handling areas and volumes. The conversion tables on page say that yd ft. For square units, we have to use this conversion twice so that ft " cancels with ft ft. 8 ft yd yd 8 8 ft yd yd ft ft ()() Another way to obtain the same result is to create a new conversion formula for our specific purpose. Since yd ft we immediately have yd ft ft 9 ft and 8 ft 8 ft yd 8 ft yd 9 ft g),000,000 mm =? km This time we will use two conversions m = 000 mm and km = 000 m. Each of these two conversion will be used twice, since we are using square units: Then we continue: km km m m km 000m 000m
6 Therefore mm km. notice that mm " cancels with mm mm in the first row, and m cancels with m m in the second row of calculations above. 6 h) 8 ft =? yd When dealing with cubic units, we have to apply each conversion formula three times. For example, since yd ft, we can apply this conversion three times so that ft cancels with ft ft ft. 8 ft yd yd yd 8 8 ft yd yd ft ft ft ()()() Or, as in the example f) above, we can create our own conversion formula yd ft ft ft 7 ft and use it directly: 8 ft yd 8 8 ft yd yd 7 ft 7 i) 8 ml =? cc This is a straight forward conversion, since : 8mL cc 8mL 8cc ml j) L =? cc This time we have to use two conversions in a row: L = 000 ml and ml = cc: L 000mL cc ()(000) L cc 000cc L ml k) m =? cc For cubic units, we use conversion formulas three times: m 00cm 00cm 00cm cc (00)(00)(00) m cc cc m m m cm Alternatively, we can derive our own conversion formula for cubic units. Using m 00cm, we getm 00cm 00cm 00cm cm. l) 4 C =? K Use the temperature conversion formulas from the table on page. K = C K = ( ) K = 5.5 K m) 74 F =? C C = 9 5 (F ) C = 9 5 (74 ) C. C
7 n) 9 C =? F 7 F = 5 9 C + F = [ 5 9 (9) + ] F = 84. F Compound Measures We now look at what is sometimes called compound measures: miles per hour = mi/hr, ft/sec, lb/ft, g/cm etc. Examples a) If a car is traveling 90 mi/hr, how many feet will the car travel in sec? In 5 sec? A direct way to convert these units is: 90mi 580 ft hr min (90)(580) 90 mi / hr ft / sec ft / sec hr mi 60 min 60sec (60)(60) Alternatively, we can derive our own conversion formulas separately for miles and for hours: mi 580 ftt and hr 60min 6060sec 600sec. We then replace miles with 580feet and hours with 600sec. Therefore 90mi ft ft / sec hr 600sec In second the car will travel ft. The car will travel (5 sec )( ft/sec) = 660 ft. in 5 seconds. b) A 90 lb weight is applied to an area /4 in by /4 inch. This pressure is equivalent to how many tons per ft? We have 90 pounds per (/4)(/4) in. We have [90 lb/(/6) in ] = 440 lb/in. 440lb ton in in (440)()() 440 lb / in ton / ft 0.68 ton / ft in 000lb ft ft 000 c) If a machine produces 5 parts in an 8 hour day, how many minutes will it take to produce 0 parts? We will first get minutes per part. 8hours 60 min 8(60) min/ part min/ part 5 parts hour 5 5 The time needed for 0 parts would be (0)(/5) minutes = 64/ minutes = minutes. d) If a machine produces 5 parts in an 8 hour day, how many parts can it produce in 0 minutes? We will first get parts per minute. Notice that we have parts in the numerator since we want parts in the final answer.
8 8 5 parts hour 5 5 parts / min parts / min 8hours 60 min 8(60) In 0 minutes, the machine would produce 5 0 parts = 75 6 parts =. 4 6 e) Water is pouring into a plastic box m by m by. m at the rate of 5 ml per minute. How long will it take in hours to fill this box? The volume of the box is m m. m =. m. In minute, 5 ml will drip into the box. We will convert ml to cm to m and minutes to hours. min (00)(00)(00) ml cm cm cm hr hr. hr 5mL cm m m m 60 min (5)(60) m m. hrs for each m. It will take (.)(.) hr = 40 hr to fill the box Homework:. 000 yd =? in. 000 in =? ft. 000 in =? yd ft =? in yd =? in in =? ft in =? yd ft =? in yd =? in in =? ft. 000 in =? yd. 000 ft =? in.,000,000 mm =? cm 4.,000,000 mg =? cg 5.,000,000 mm =? m 6.,000,000 μg =? g 7.,000,000 mg =? g 8.,000,000 cm =? m 9.,000,000 ml =?

F C =? F 4. 5 C =? K K =? C ft/sec =? mi/hr
9 mi / hr =? ft / sec m/min =? km / hr ft =? m gal / min =? gal/hr m/sec =? km/hr 6. 9 qt =? m pints / min =? gal / hr km / hr =? m / min 6. m =? qt 47. g/cm =? kg/m 55. cc/sec =? L/hr 6.,000,000 grains =? lbs kg / m =? g / mm 56. L / hr =? cc / min lbs =? grains lb/in =? tons/ft tons / ft =? lb / in km/hr =? m/sec 57. m =? L L =? m m =? ft 65.. mg / mm =? oz / in oz / in =? mg / mm 67. A car traveling at a constant speed travels 75 miles in 4 hours. How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 000 feet? 68.
