In the United States, 5′8″ is a little below average for a man. Still, if you are 5′8″ tall, you are taller than 33.1% of men in their twenties. Translate Tab is an easy-to-use tool for quick translation. The idea behind Translate Tab is to have a tool handy when you need to do some basic translation. With Translate Tab, you will be able to translate words and phrases among more than 100 languages. For example, 12.5×10-9 m can be read as 'twelve-point-five nanometers' and written as 12.5 nm, while its scientific notation equivalent 1.25×10-8 m would likely be read out as 'one-point-two-five times ten-to-the-negative-eight meters'.
Convert 3.9 x 1.9 x 2.9 inches to centimeters. To convert length x width x height dimensions from inches to centimeters we should multiply each amount by the conversion factor. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters, in order to convert 3.9 x 1.9 x 2.9 inches to centimeters we have to multiply each amount of inches by 2.54 to obtain the length, width.
Grams or Grams Force per Square Centimetre is a cgs system (centimetre, gram, second) pressure unit which is now largely obsolete and officially superceded by the SI system of units. 1 Gram per Square Centimeter is 98.0665 pascals.
The gf/cm² pressure unit is comparable in value to 1 mbar (hPa) and is used for low pressure measurements of gas burners, and pneumatic valves for example. It is also used as a measure of stress of biological and textile material.

Derivation
The calculation below shows how the pressure unit Gram per Square Centimetre (g/cm²) is derived from SI Units.
Formula
- Pressure = Force / Area
- Force = Mass x Acceleration
- Acceleration = Distance / (Time x Time)
SI Units
- Mass: kilogram (kg)
- Length: metre (m)
- Time: second (s)
- Force: newton (N)
- Pressure: pascal (Pa)
Input Values
- 1 Gram = 0.001 kg
- 1 Centimetre = 0.01 m
- 1 Square Centimetre = 0.01 m x 0.01 m = 0.0001 m²
- Acceleration = Standard Gravity = 9.80665 m/s²
Calculation
- 1 Gram Force = 0.001 kg x 9.80665 m/s² = 0.00980665 N
- 1 g/cm² Pressure = 0.00980665 N / 0.0001 m² = 98.0665 Pa

Metric-English Conversion Problems #26-60 | Return to Metric Menu |
Problem #1: Convert 92.33 yd3 to m3
Solution:
1) Think of 92.33 yd3 this way:
92.33 yd by 1 yd by 1 yd
2) We convert yard to meters with this:
1 yd = 0.9144 m
3) Substituting, we obtain:
(92.33 yd x 0.9144 m/yd) by 0.9144 m by 0.9144 m = 70.59 m3
4) Another way to express the conversion is this:
92.33 yd3 x (0.9144 m / yd)3
Problem #2: Convert 8.75 lb/ft3 to g/mL
Solution:
1) The first step is to change lb to g. For this, we use this conversion factor:
1 lb = 453.6 g![Translate Tab 2 0 8 Cm Translate Tab 2 0 8 Cm](https://insmac.org/uploads/posts/2018-12/1544335197_translate-tab_01.jpg)
8.75 lb/ft3 times (453.6 g/lb) = 3969 g/ft3
2) I'm going to use cm3 rather than mL. For this, we use this conversion factor:
1 foot = 30.48 cm3969 g/ft3 times (1 ft / 30.48 cm)3 = 0.140 g/cm3
Since 1 cm3 = 1 mL, we have 0.140 g/mL
Advice: when you need to determine mL (as in the above example), it is often much more convenient to go about determining cm3. Since 1 cm3 equals 1 mL, in determining cm3, you are determining mL.
Problem #3: Convert 6000 cm2 to in2
Solution:
Problem #4: Convert 3.55 x 10-7 miles/min to hm/day
Solution:
1) Convert denominator first:
3.55 x 10-7 miles/min x (60 min / hr) x (24 hr / day) = 5.112 x 10-4 miles/day
2) Convert miles to meters, then to hectometers:
5.112 x 10-4 miles/day x (1609.34 m / mile) x (1 hm / 100 m) = 8.23 x 10-3 hm/day
Problem #5: The men's world record for the hundred-meter (100.0 m) dash was set by Usain Bolt in 2009. His time was 9.572 seconds (official value = 9.58 s). What was his average speed in: (a) m/s; (b) km/hr; (c) ft/s; (d) miles/hr
Solution:
1) m/s:
100.0 m / 9.572 s = 10.447 m/s (to four sig figs, 10.45 m/s)
2) km/hr:
10.45 m/s x (1 km / 1000 m) x (60 s / min) x (60 min / hr) = 37.62 km/hr
3) ft/s:
10.447 m/s x (3.28084 ft/ 1 m) = 34.27493548 ft/s = 34.27 ft/sSince one meter is larger than one foot, we assign the 1 to the meter in the conversion unit.
4) miles/hr:
34.27493548 ft/s x (1 mile / 5280 feet) x (60 s / min) x (60 min / hr) = 23.37 mi/hr
5) Here's a dimensional analysis set-up for converting to miles per hour (mph)
100 m | 39.3701 inches | 1 foot | 1 mile | 3600 s | |||||
–––––– | x | –––––––––––– | x | ––––––– | x | ––––––– | x | ––––––– | = 23.37 mph |
9.572 s | 1 m | 12 inches | 5280 feet | 1 hr |
6) From the last factor to the first:
change seconds to hours
change feet to miles
change inches to feet
change meters to inches
meters per second is the unit to be changed to miles per hour (mph)

Problem #6: In America, a car's gasoline efficiency is measured in miles/gallon. In Europe, it is measured in km/L. If your car's gas mileage is 40.0 mi/gal, how many liters of gasoline would you need to buy to complete a 142 km trip? Use the following conversions: 1 km = 0.6214 mi and 1 gal = 3.7854 L
Solution: When I solved this problem, I did not clear the calculator at any point before rounding off the answer to three significant figures.
1) Here's a solution in a step-wise manner:
40.0 mi | 1 km | ||
––––––– | x | –––––––– | = 64.3708 km/gal |
1 gal | 0.6214 mi |
64.3708 km | 1 gal | ||
–––––––––– | x | ––––––– | = 17.005 km/L |
1 gal | 3.7854 L |
142 km | 1 L | 142 km | ||||
––––––– | x | –––––––– | = 8.35 L | -----> another way -----> | –––––––––– | = 8.35 L |
1 | 17.005 km | 17.005 km/L |
2) Here's a solution in a dimensional analysis manner:
142 km | 0.6214 mi | 1 gal | 3.7854 L | ||||
––––––– | x | ––––––––– | x | –––––– | x | ––––––– | = 8.35 L |
1 | 1 km | 40.0 mi | 1 gal |
Problem #7: If 4.35 x 109 gallons of rain and snow fall on the United States daily, how many kilograms of water fall on this country each hour?
Solution:
1) Convert to gal/hr:
4.35 x 109 gal/day times (1 day / 24 hr) = 1.8125 x 108 gal/hr
2) Determine weight of the gallons per hour that fall:
1.8125 x 108 gal/hr times 8.329 lb/gal = 1509631250 lb/hrI used the density from the table here. I used the value for 70 °F, which is equal to about 21 °C
3) Convert pounds to kilograms:
1509631250 lb/hr times (1 kg / 2.20462 lb) = 6.84758 x 108 kgTo three sig figs would be 6.85 x 108 kg
Problem #8: The density of balsa wood is 7.8 lb per cubic foot. What is the weight, in kg, of a piece of balsa wood 4.0 inch by 6.0 inch by 20.0 inch?
Solution:
1) Let us determine how many cubic inches are in our piece of balsa wood:
4.0 in x 6.0 in x 20.0 in = 480 in3
2) Determine how many cubic inches are in a cubic foot:
1 ft3 = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft = 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in3
3) How much of a cubic foot is our piece of balsa wood?
480 in3 divided by (1728 in3 / ft3) = 0.27778 ft3
4) How many pounds of balsa wood do we have?
7.8 lb / ft3 times 0.27778 ft3 = 2.166684 lb

5) Convert lb to kg:
2.166684 lb times (1 kg / 2.20462 lb) = 0.9828 kgTo two sig figs, this is 0.98 kg.
Comment: we could have converted our inch values to feet by dividing each by 12 inches / foot, to get this:
0.33333 ft x 0.5 ft x 1.666667 ft = 0.027778 ft3
then, go to step 4 above.

Problem #9: A car's engine is rated at 3.60 liters (volume in the cylinders). How many cubic inches is this? (Remember: 1 L = 1000 mL and 1 mL = 1 cm3)
Solution:
1 L = 1000 cm3 = 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cmTranslate Tab 2 0 8 Cm =
1 inch = 2.54 cm
(10 cm x 1 in / 2.54 cm) by (10 cm x 1 in / 2.54 cm) by (10 cm x 1 in / 2.54 cm)
3.937 in by 3.937 in by 3.937 in = 61.0234 in3<--- cubic inches in one liter
3.60 L x (61.0234 in3 / L) = 220. in3 (to three sig figs)
Problem #10: If zinc has a density of 446 lb/ft3 , what is the density of zinc in g/cm3?
(446 lb/ft3) (453.6 g/lb) <--- converts lb to g(446 lb/ft3) (453.6 g/lb) (1 ft3/ (123 in3) <--- converts ft3 to in3, the unit would be g/in3 if we ended here
(446 lb/ft3) (453.6 g/lb) (1 ft3/ (123 in3) (1 in3/ 2.543 cm3)
The answer is 7.14 g/cm3
Note the style of the conversion factors, to wit:
(1 ft3/ (123 in3)
Translate Cm To Ft
The idea is this:
1 ft3 is a cube 12 inches on a side.1 ft3 = 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 123 in3
Bonus Problem: The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 x 108 m/s. What is the speed of light in miles/sec?
Solution:
2.998 x 108 m/s times (1 mile / 1609.34 m) = 186,288 mile/s (not paying any attention to sig figs)Just remember what Al (our pal) Einstein said.
