Week - 1 - Consistency of units

Objective : To convert the measurements of different quantities as given into the different unit systems.

Procedure : To simplify the conversions, a table is constructed as follows.

The quantities to be converted form the rows on top and the quantities on the left column form the unit system according to which they must be converted.

The table is divided into two parts, green and red.

Green Part : The green part consists of the parameters which are all in quantities of 1 as indicated in the top row. Due to this the green numbers are all in powers of 10 by which the default units of those systems must be multiplied by to get the quantities mentioned in the top row.

(For example : first row follows Kg,cm,ms system, therefore the value of first row in second column is 10^-2 indicating 1cm must be multiplied by 10^-2 to get 1m). This system is followed for the whole green part.

Red Part : The red part of the table is the direct conversion of the given quantities 210 Gpa, 56.33kmph & 9.81m/s2 into the unit systems mentioned in the extreme left column.

Conclusion : Hence the given quantities have been converted satisfactorily into the the given unit systems.
