Quantity English Units Equals SI Units
force lb = 4.4482 N
mass Slug = 14.5938 kg
length ft = 0.3048m
Not really a good specified question but here are some of the more common basic English units converted to si units
si units are based on the metric system system international (French) international system (English)
No problems provided they state which units. Most scientists are capable of converting between units.
International System of Units (SI)
I guess that's what such tools are for. Although the more generic name would be "unit conversion tool".
SI is a base 10 standardized system
SI units: kilogram, gram English units: pound-mass, slug
All SI units are powers of 10. Multiplying by 10 will convert units.
SI units are more accurate than English system units
si units are based on the metric system system international (French) international system (English)
"English" and "SI" are two completely different major systems of units. -- The SI unit of force is the Newton. -- English units of force include the poundforce, ounce, stone, and ton.
If you have different units, converting to any common unit will help. Of course, using standard units, i.e. SI units, is better than any other arbitrary unit. Also, SI units for a consistent set of units; as a result, you can often omit proportionality factors from formulae.
Force has SI units of Newtons (N) and English units of pounds (lb).
# English or traditional units # Metric units (International system or "SI")
In the SI system, newtons. In the English System, pounds. Hope this helps!
SI is an abbreviation of the French "le Système International d'unités"which when translated in to English means "The International System of Units".
SI uses powers of 10.
The SI unit is a Newton while an Imperial unit was a pound-force (not a pound).
