Length, width and heights are measures of distance and in normal circumstances are invariant (ignoring Lorentz contraction which kick in at speeds near that of light). The difference between the three is mostly a matter of convenience. Weight is the effect of gravitational force on a mass and varies as the force of gravity changes. Even on the surface of the earth it can vary by 5%. On the moon the weight of an object would be a sixth of what it was on the earth. In space, objects can become weightless.

Volume of a book with 10cm width length 2 times the weight and a height that is half the width?

The volume of a solid rectangle is equal to Length x Width x Height. So, 20cm x 10cm x 5cm would be 1000cm cubed.


What is the formula used to calculate the weight of an object?

The answer two this question depends on two factors: - Determining the volume of the shape in question. - Determining the weight the of the matter the object is composed of. For example a 3 dimensional square that is 1 meter in length, 1 meter in width and 1 meter in height is filled with water. To determine the weight of the water: - The volume formula for a rectangle is volume = length X width x height; In our case volume = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1 m^3 (one meter cubed) - the wight of water is 1 per cubic meter. Therefore 1 m^3 of water weighs 1 kg.


What is the length of a relay baton?

The standard length of a relay baton used in track and field competitions is typically around 30 centimeters (11.8 inches). This length is designed to provide a balance between being easy to handle and pass between runners while also complying with competition regulations. The baton's size and weight are carefully regulated to ensure fairness and consistency in relay races.


Length is to meter as?

Length is to meter as weight is to pounds or kilograms. These are the most common units of measuring different aspects used.
