Examples

• 1 lt = 2240 lb
• 0.5 lt = 1120 lb
• 2.5 lt = 5600 lb
• 10 lt = 22400 lb

Linear unit conversions use standardized factors; many are exact by definition (e.g., 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m).

Common mistakes

• Confusing mass (lb) with force (lbf) in engineering contexts.
• Mixing metric tonnes (t) with short/long tons.

About Mass

Mass quantifies the amount of matter. The kilogram is defined by Planck’s constant, which anchors mass to fundamental physics. In practice, grams and pounds dominate everyday use—from recipes and parcels to body weight—while tonnes and long tons appear in logistics and industry.
