The same amount in every unit
How this is calculated
Each unit is stored as how many of one base unit it is: an inch is 0.0254 meters, a pound of force is 4.4482216152605 newtons. Converting multiplies by the first and divides by the second, so converting there and back always returns what you started with.
answer = amount × (base units in one “from”) ÷ (base units in one “to”)Make a notebook page
Turns this calculation into a dated engineering notebook page: the setup, data, results, figures, working and sources, numbered and cited. You add the goal, the decision and the reflection in your own words, plus photos and sketches. Print it, paste it into Google Docs, or download a Word file or slides.
Sources & assumptions
Exact by definition: 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 12 in, 1 mile = 5,280 ft, 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg, 1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N, standard gravity 9.80665 m/s² (for kilograms-force), 1 bar = 100,000 Pa. VEX parts sit on a 0.5 in hole grid.
