Milliliters - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Milliliter

A milliliter (international spelling) or milliliter (American English spelling) (SI symbol mL or ml) is a unit of volume that is used in the metric system. It is defined as one thousandth of a liter, or the volume of a cube with sides of 1 millimeter (0.001 meter) in length.

One milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter, 0.000001 cubic meters, or 0.001 cubic decimeters.

History of the Milliliter

The milliliter is derived from the liter, which is a unit of volume that was first used by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1795 as a unit of volume for liquids and gases. The liter was originally defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 °C and standard atmospheric pressure. The liter was later redefined several times based on different physical standards, such as a platinum-iridium cylinder and a wavelength of light. The current definition of the liter, adopted in 1964, is based on the cubic meter, which is the SI unit of volume. The liter is not an SI unit, but it is accepted by the CGPM (the standards body that defines the SI) for use with the SI.

The milliliter was introduced as a subunit of the liter in the metric system in 1795, along with other decimal subunits such as the centiliter and the deciliter. The milliliter was used for measuring very small volumes of liquids and gases, such as medicine, perfume, ink, and blood. The milliliter was also used for measuring some solids, such as granulated sugar, salt, and flour. The milliliter was adopted as a standard unit of measure in many countries that use the metric system, such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.

How to Convert Milliliters

To convert milliliters to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert milliliters to cubic centimeters, multiply by 1.
  • Example: 2 mL × 1 = 2 cm3
• To convert milliliters to cubic meters, multiply by 0.000001.
  • Example: 2 mL × 0.000001 = 0.000002 m3
• To convert milliliters to cubic decimeters, multiply by 0.001.
  • Example: 2 mL × 0.001 = 0.002 dm3
• To convert milliliters to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 0.000264.
  • Example: 2 mL × 0.000264 = 0.000528 gal
• To convert milliliters to bushels (US), multiply by 0.0000374.
  • Example: 2 mL × 0.0000374 = 0.0000748 bu
• To convert milliliters to barrels (oil), multiply by 0.0000063.
  • Example: 2 mL × 0.0000063 = 0.0000126 bbl

To convert other units of volume to milliliters, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic centimeters to milliliters, divide by 1.
  • Example: 2 cm3 ÷ 1 = 2 mL
• To convert cubic meters to milliliters, divide by 0.000001.
  • Example: 0.000002 m3 ÷ 0.000001 = 2 mL
• To convert cubic decimeters to milliliters, divide by 0.001.
  • Example: 0.002 dm3 ÷ 0.001 = 2 mL
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to milliliters, divide by 0.000264.
  • Example: 0.000528 gal ÷ 0.000264 = 2 mL
• To convert bushels (US) to milliliters, divide by 0.0000374.
  • Example: 0.0000748 bu ÷ 0.0000374 = 2 mL
• To convert barrels (oil) to milliliters, divide by 0.0000063.
  • Example: 0.0000126 bbl ÷ 0.0000063 = 2 mL

Where Milliliters are Used

Milliliters are used for measuring various materials and substances in different countries and applications.

Some examples are:

• In many countries that use the metric system, milliliters are used for measuring liquids and gases, such as water, milk, juice, soda, beer, wine, oil, fuel, air, and oxygen.
• In some countries that use the imperial system, such as the United States and Canada, milliliters are used for measuring some liquids and gases, such as medicine, perfume, ink, and blood.
• In the European Union, milliliters are used for measuring fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles.
• In the medical industry, milliliters are used for measuring blood volume, urine output, and intravenous fluid administration.
• In the scientific industry, milliliters are used for measuring chemical solutions, reactions, and concentrations.

Example Conversions of Milliliters to Other Units

Here are some example conversions of milliliters to other units of volume:

• 1 mL = 1 cm3
• 1 mL = 0.000001 m3
• 1 mL = 0.001 dm3
• 1 mL = 0.000264 gal
• 1 mL = 0.0000374 bu
• 1 mL = 0.0000063 bbl
• 1 mL = 0.001 L

Pounds: A Unit of Weight

Definition of the Pound

A pound is a unit of weight that measures how much force an object or substance exerts on a scale due to gravity. It is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms, or 16 ounces, or 7000 grains. One pound can also be written as lb or lbs.

History of the Pound

The pound was originally defined in ancient Rome as the mass of a bronze bar called a libra, which was divided into 12 ounces. The libra was later adopted by various regions and countries in Europe, such as England, France and Germany, with different values and subdivisions.

The pound as we know it today is based on the avoirdupois system, which was developed in the 13th century in France and England. The avoirdupois pound was standardized in 1959 by an international agreement among the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.

The pound, as well as other units of weight, such as the ounce and the ton, were introduced in the 19th century as part of the imperial system of measurement that aimed to unify the units used in the British Empire. The pound was officially adopted by the International System of Units (SI) in 1960 as one of the seven base units.

How to Convert Pounds

To convert pounds to other units of weight, we need to use conversion factors that relate the pound to the desired unit. For example, to convert pounds to kilograms, we need to know that one kilogram is equal to 2.2046226218 pounds. Therefore, one pound is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms.

Here are some common conversion factors for pounds:

• 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg
• 1 lb = 16 oz
• 1 lb = 7000 gr
• 1 lb = 0.0005 t
• 1 lb = 0.0714285714 st

To convert from other units of weight to pounds, we need to use the inverse of these conversion factors. For example, to convert kilograms to pounds, we need to multiply by 2.2046226218.

Where Pounds are Used

The pound is a unit of weight that is widely used in the United States and some other countries that have historical ties with Britain, such as Canada and Australia. It is commonly used to measure the weight of people, animals, food, clothes and other everyday items. For example, an average adult male in the United States has a weight of about 198 lbs.

The pound is also used to measure some physical quantities such as force, pressure and torque. For example, one pound-force (lbf) is equal to one pound times the standard acceleration due to gravity (32.174 ft/s²).

Example Conversions of Pounds to Other Units

Here are some examples of how to convert pounds to other units of weight using the conversion factors given above:

• 2 lb = 2 x 0.45359237 kg = 0.90718474 kg
• 3 lb = 3 x 16 oz = 48 oz
• 4 lb = 4 x 7000 gr = 28000 gr
• 5 lb = 5 x 0.0005 t = 0.0025 t
• 6 lb = 6 x 0.0714285714 st = 0.4285714284 st

Conclusion

The pound is a unit of weight that measures how much force an object or substance exerts on a scale due to gravity. It is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms, or 16 ounces, or 7000 grains. The pound is widely used in the United States and some other countries that have historical ties with Britain, such as Canada and Australia, as well as some physical quantities such as force, pressure and torque.
