Why does specific heat has the same numerical value in metric and british systems?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Specific heat is dimensionless, and dimensionless units have the same value in any system.
Specific heat is the ratio between two densities - that of the substance considered, and that of water. The ratio of two quantities of the same dimension will naturally be a dimensionless number.

When will the UK become fully metric?
No-one can tell whether it EVER will. There is much opposition within the British public to adopting metric measurements of distance, quantity and weight, so it's likely that both the Imperial and Metric systems will be used in the UK for the foreseaable future.
