no... that's just what those Europeans donot in L per 100km
We still measure road distances in miles, not like Canada!

But your Imperial gallon is different than the US gallon which is different than a Spanish Galleon. It all is too confusing for me to keep all the conversions straight. I say we adopt the Chinese standard of measurements that seem to have no standard at all. If it looks good, ship it.Don't get me started on tyres (=tires for those that claim to have visited the moon). Not sure about in the USA, but in the UK tyres are sized in a format like 255/35 R18 where 255 is the width in mm, 35 is the % of the sidewall depth compared to the width, and the 18 is the diameter of the wheel... in inches!
And yes, we still measure fuel consumption in miles per gallon here, despite only being able to purchase fuel in litres for the last 29 years.
HA HA HA!We still measure road distances in miles, not like Canada
Us Aussies use l/100km too lolno... that's just what those Europeans do

You got it mixed up:And there's this:

Metric, probably why they landed in the moon and not on it.You got it mixed up:
Shouldn’t really come as suprise that German engineers use metric system to land in moon.
Nope, no contact with those programs.
I have worked inside a couple "other" programs.
"Negative masses" - yeah, right!
It works in math, so must represent reality!
So did the program publish a bit of data but not all?
Ding-dong.... cannot calculate this... you haven't specified the gravitational pull of the planet that said gold is hovering above. Nor the ambient temperature, nor the shape of the container of the water, not the R-value of the container's material.How many fahrenheits you can heat 12 gallons of heavy water with the potential energy of 10 000 pound block of gold falling from a height of 1 US survey mile?
We now have dark matter no one can find, dark energy no one has detected
Might not make perfect sense but it teaches math conversions and fractions better than the simplified metric system. When it comes to temperature a wider scale helps in process control. Plus which it is easy to estimate a yard, foot or inch. I have my body to look at as reference. My stride is a yard, my foot is very close to 12 inches and from my thump tip to the first knuckle is almost a perfect inch.Us Aussies use l/100km too lol
My Hilux uses 10l/100km- which makes it real easy to figure out my fuel 'kilometreage'
It's funny- I was one of the last Aussie generations taught both systems- and even I have to use the net to do gallons (imperial or US???) to litres, or look up distances in anything other than metric- I use metric exclusively (apart from the occasional weirdness like the tyres thing- and caravans (travel trailers for the yanks)- for some weird reason, they are often still found in feet
Most Aussies under the age of thirty literally have no idea of how the imperial system works (or doesn't as the case may be) and when confronted with the imperial system, are 'why the &$% would anyone make or use a system like THAT for????'
10mm =1cm, 100cm=1m, 1000m= 1km, a cube of water 1cmx1cmx1cm = 1 gram (1mL), 10cm x10cmx10cm = 1kg (and is 1litre), 1mx1mx1m = 1 tonne (1000L), water freezes at 0C, and boils at 100C
12"=1ft, 3ft=1yard, 36"=1 yard, 5280 feet in a mile or 1760 yards=1 mile, 1 US gallon= 231cubic inches, but a Canadian/UK gallon is 274 (and a bit) cubic inches- but both are 4 quarts (also different), a US gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs, while a Imperial gallon weighs 10.02 lbs, water freezes at 32F and boils at 212F
Yeah- makes 'perfect sense'
(I grew up with it- and it still makes no sense to me lol)

For added simplicity you can use the standard value of g(0) 32.17405 ft/s2 and assume that R-value is nearly ideal with zero losses to outside.Ding-dong.... cannot calculate this... you haven't specified the gravitational pull of the planet that said gold is hovering above.

The problem is no one is allowed to look for anything else without risking their jobThe reason they're there is because that's what is observed. Call them a placeholder until we know what really goes on. This is just the way science works.
If I heat 1000 gal of thermal storage from 135°F to 185°F, it takes about 420K BTU's.Gotta say BTU is my favourite arch enemy. Especially when mixed with anything electrical, ie electric heater with 2000w input power and 31415 BTU’s output.

I don't agree but I will not argue about it. I am suffering from SAD this morning.I would say it wastes time with conversion and fractions instead of focusing on the import stuff like understanding what a formula actually means with clearly defined and related units.

In the hvac industry, 12000 btu’s is a ton.If I heat 1000 gal of thermal storage from 135°F to 185°F, it takes about 420K BTU's.
In the case of MOND the evidence is the fact that it works.They can. Serious research is done on MOND and the like - however the issue is that when a theory violates principles such as conservation laws, you will get some serious push back if you can't back it up with evidence.
The "ton" came about in the refrigeration industry, because back in the days of horses, your domestic cool box used a block of ice to keep your food cool. So the amount of cooling you got from a certain weight of ice was a useful measure of cooling capacity.
Its all about latent heat of water and ice.
When mechanical refrigeration and air conditioning came along, people still thought in terms of "tons" of cooling capacity.
And your nerdy refrigeration engineer knew that it takes 12,000 BTU to either freeze a ton of water, or melt same.
So indeed, a unit of cooling is definitely directly tied to a mass at standard earth gravity. Strange, but true.
Yep and they had to learn our system of measurements too
