Week - 1 - Consistency of units

Aim:

To Convert the given quantities into various system of units as mentioned and write detail calculation for convertion from SI to gm/mm/ms.

Procedure:

Conversion from SI to gm/mm/ms

  • Mass = 1 kg units in SI system

        1 kg = 1000 gms -> 1gm = 10^-3 kg

        For conversion of mass from kg to gms we should multiply given mass with 10^-3

        So the conversion factor will be 10^-3.

  • Length = 1 m units in SI system

        1 m = 1000 mm -> 1mm = 10^-3 m

         For conversion of length from m to mm we should multiply given length with 10^-3

         So the conversion factor will be 10^-3.

  • Time = 1s Units in SI system

         1s = 1000 ms -> 1ms = 10^-3 s

         For conversion of Time from s to ms we should multiply given time with 10^-3

         So the conversion factor will be 10^-3

  • FOrce =1 N Units in SI system

        1 N = Kg * m/ s^2 = 10^-3gm*10^-3 mm/ 10^-6 ms = gm mm/ ms = N

         Hence the units for force will be same . Conversion factor will be 1.

  • Stress = 1 pa Units in SI system

        1 pa = 1 N/m^2 = 1 N / 10^-6 mm^2 = 10^6 N/ mm^2 = 1 MPa

        So the Conversion factor will be 10^6

  • Energy = 1 Nm Units in SI system

        1 N-m = 1 N- 10^-3 mm = 10^-3 Nmm

        So the Conversion factor will be 10^-3

  • Density = 1 Kg/ m^3 Units in SI system

        1 Kg/m^3 = 1000 gm / 10^9 mm^3 = 10^3 * 10^-9 gm/mm^3 = 10^-6 gm/ mm^3

        So the Conversion factor will be 10^-6

  • YOUNGS Modulus = 210 GPa Units in SI system

         210 GPa = 210 * 10^9 N/ m^2 = 210 * 10^9 N/ 10^6 mm^2 = 210*10^9*10^-6 N/mm^2 = 210 *10 ^3 N/mm^2

        so the Conversion factor will be 10^-6

  • Velocity = 56.33 KMPH Units in SI system

        56.33 KMPH = 56.33 * 1000 *1000 mm / 60*60*1000 ms = 56.33*5/18 mm/ms

        So the Conversion factor will be 5/18

  • Gravity = 9.81 m/s^2 Units in SI system

        9.81 m/s^2 = 9.81 * 1000 mm/ 1000*1000 ms^2 = 9.81*10^-3 mm/ ms^2

        So the Conversion factor will be 10^-3

  Mass 1 Kg Length 1 m Time 1s Force 1 N Stress 1 Pa Energy 1Nm Density 1 Kg/m3 YOUNGS modulus 210 GPa Velocity 56.33 KMPH Gravity 9.8 m/s2
