UNIT CONVERSION VOLUME a. Convert 8 in3 into CGS unit. b. Convert 8 imperial gallons into AES (ft3) unit. Given 1m3 = 220.83 imperial gallons 100 cm = 39.37 in

UNIT CONVERSION FORCE

a. Convert 5 lbf into N. b. Convert 5 dynes into AES (lbm.ft/s2) unit. Given 1N = 105 dynes, 1 lbf = 32.174 lbm.ft/s2

UNIT CONVERSION PRESSURE

a. Convert 9 lbf/in2 into Pa (N/m2). b. Convert 1880 mmHg into AES (lbf/in2) unit. Given760 mmHg = 101.325 KPa.

UNIT CONVERSION ENERGY

a. Convert 45 J into AES (ft.lbf) unit. b. Convert 61 BTU into J. Given 0.7376 ft.Ibf = 9.486 10-4 Btu

UNIT CONVERSION POWER

a. Convert 5 watt (J/s) into AES (ft.Ibf/s) unit. b. Convert 88 hp into watt unit. Given 0.7376 ft.Ibf/s = 1.34110-3 hp

UNITS CONVERSIONS TEMPERATURE

T(K) = T(oC) + 273.15 T(oR) = T(oF) + 459.67 T(oR) = 1.8T(K) T(oF) = 1.8T(oC) + 32

a. Convert 600R into C. b. Convert 800 K into F.

EXAMPLE 1 A supersonic aircraft consumes 5,320 imperial gallons of kerosene per hour of flight and flies an average of 14 hours per day. It takes 7 metric tonnes of crude oil to produce one metric tonne of kerosene. The density of kerosene is 0.965 g/cm3. How many planes would it take to consume the entire annual production of 5.74109 metric tonnes of crude oil per year? 1 m3 = 220.83 imperial gallons

TAKE HOME ACTIVITY 1 If the Malaysian crude oil production is 600,000 barrel per day, how many total number of planes to consume the entire annual Malaysian production of crude oil? Given, 1 barrel = 200 liters and density of crude oil and kerosene is 1.2 g/cm3 and 0.965 g/cm3 respectively. Discuss your answer.

1 m3 = 220.83 imperial gallons
