How to convert complex units such as m/s, g/L...
In this video, I'm going to explain how to change units when we have two units in the quantity.
00:00:02
We are going to use more difficult, more complex conversion factors.
00:00:11
So, the first example that I'm going to do is this one.
00:00:15
The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. How much is this in kilometers per hour?
00:00:18
So, we need to change this number, meters per second, to kilometers per hour.
00:00:23
notice the difference between this situation in the previous one is that we
00:00:28
have two units that we need to change so I'm going to study the usual way and I'm
00:00:33
going to write what I have 340 meters per second okay and I want to end with
00:00:38
kilometers per hour so I'm going to need two changes so I'm going to write two
00:00:45
lines to conversion factors the first one is very easy from meters to
00:00:53
kilometers so meters go here you know meters go over the line and we all know
00:00:58
that one kilometer is 1,000 meters okay the second one is seconds to hour but
00:01:03
notice that seconds cannot go here okay seconds sorry hours cannot go here
00:01:10
because they are below the line so hours I'm going to be below the line in the
00:01:18
conversion factor the same than in the final unit and seconds I'm going to be
00:01:22
here and you can check this but one second is 3600 or one hour is at 3600 seconds the reason for
00:01:26
doing this this way is very obvious meters cancel meters seconds cancel seconds and i am left with
00:01:37
kilometers and hours like in my final product so what i need to do now is use my calculator so
00:01:45
So 340 times 3,600 is 1,024,000, and I have 1,000 here.
00:01:53
So if I do the math, these math are very easy.
00:02:10
result is that 340 meters per second speed of sound is 1244 kilometers per hour. Really fast,
00:02:17
as you can see. I'm going to do the second example. The density of mercury, mercury is a
00:02:29
liquid, it's the only liquid metal, is 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter. So again, I want to change
00:02:34
this to kilograms per cubic meter. Again, two conversion factors. First, I go from kilograms
00:02:45
from grams to kilograms, and this is easy. One kilogram is 1000 grams. And then I need
00:02:58
to go from cubic centimeters to cubic meters, but cubic meters should be below the line,
00:03:06
and cubic centimeters is over the line. Okay, how do I change from cubic centimeters to
00:03:11
cubic meters you know that 100 centimeter is one meter but if it has to
00:03:16
be cubed so I'm going to cube everything okay and 100 cubed is 1 million we will
00:03:24
learn a easier way to write this so I write these numbers here okay and now
00:03:34
what I have to do is very easy doing the math by the way grams cancel grams cubic
00:03:47
centimeters cancel cubic centimeters and I am left with kilograms cubic meters
00:03:53
that is my final result and I do the match is very easy 13.6 times 1 million
00:03:57
divided by 1,000 is 13,600 kilograms for cubic meters
