Unit Conversions
- Average mass of a ship: 67,000 tons = 67,000,000 kg = 6.7 x 10⁷ kg.
- Distance from Sohar port to Sultan Qaboos Port Muscat: 245 km = 245,000 m = 2.45 x 10⁵ m; 24,500 cm = 2.45 x 10⁶ cm; 245,000 mm = 2.45 x 10⁸ mm.
Age Conversion
- Age expressed in approximate units (convert based on personal age):
- Days: Age in years × 365 = scientific notation format.
- Seconds: Days × 86,400 = scientific notation format.
- Milliseconds: Seconds × 1,000 = scientific notation format.
- Microseconds: Milliseconds × 1,000 = scientific notation format.
Earth Measurements
- Distance from Earth’s center to surface: 6,400 km = 6,400,000 m = 6.4 x 10⁶ m; 640,000,000 cm = 6.4 x 10⁸ cm; 6,400,000,000 mm = 6.4 x 10⁹ mm.
Area Conversion
- Area of rectangular iron sheet: 25 m² = 250,000 cm² = 2.5 x 10⁵ cm².
Volume Conversion
- Volume of cylinder: 6.5 m³ = 6,500,000 cm³ = 6.5 x 10⁶ cm³.
- Volume of engine oil: 65,385 cm³ = 0.065385 m³ = 6.5385 x 10⁻² m³.
Scientific Notation and Prefixes
- Following conversions for identified physical quantities require completion in scientific notation:
- 3,500 g = 3.5 x 10³ g.
- 6,400,000 Pa = 6.4 x 10⁶ Pa.
- 745,000 N = 7.45 x 10⁵ N.
- 8,900,000,000 Hz = 8.9 x 10⁹ Hz.
Density Conversion
- Density of diesel: 880 kg/m³ = 0.88 g/cm³ via conversion.
- Density of seawater: 1.03 g/cm³ = 1,030 kg/m³ via conversion.
Time Calculations
- Seconds in a year: 1 year = 31,536,000 seconds = 3.1536 x 10⁷ seconds.
- Years in a second: 1 second = approximately 3.1688 x 10⁻⁸ years.
