Examples
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.
About Stone (st)
Stone (st)
Equals 14 lb (≈6.35029 kg). Commonly used for body weight in the UK and Ireland; pairs naturally with feet/inches.
History: Historically varied by commodity and region. Later standardized for personal weight and sports reporting.
About Gram (g)
Gram (g)
Equals 1/1000 kg. Standard for recipes, nutrition labels, and lab reagents. Converts cleanly across the metric ladder without rounding traps.
History: Introduced with the original metric system after the French Revolution. Its use expanded with mass manufacturing and standardized packaging.
