EXAMPLE - 2

• Let us convert "40 Kilometer / hour" into "meter / second" 

• Cilck "Speed" from the "Select a physical quantity" box

• The Definition box displays the definition, dimension and SI unit of "Speed"

• Click "kilometer/hour" from the "Convert From" box.

• You may see that the contents of "Convert To" boxes changes and it currently shows the values in different units which are equal to 1 kilometer/hour.

• Click "meter/second" from the "Convert To" box.

"  = 0.277777777778 meter/second "

• It implies that 1 kilometer/hour is equal to 0.277777777778 meter/second.

• Now enter the value " 40 " in the left side field of "Convert values" box.

• You may see that the value on the right side field changes as you modify the left field.

• The right side field displays a value of "11.11111111111".

• It means that  40 Kilometer / hour =  11.111111111111 meter/second

EXAMPLE - 3

• Let us convert " 98^o Fahrenheit " into "  Degree Celsius " 

• Cilck "Temperature" from the "Select a physical quantity" box

• The Definition box displays the definition, dimension and SI unit of "Temperature"

• Click ^ofahrenheit from the "Convert From" box.

• You may see that the contents of "Convert To" boxes changes and it currently shows the values in different units which are same as 1 ^ofahrenheit.

• Click ^ocelsius from the "Convert To" box.

• You may note that the ^ocelsius value is displayed with a prefix number as shown below.

"  = -17.22222 ^ocelsius "

• It implies that ^ofahrenheit is same as -17.22222 ^ocelsius.

• Now enter the value " 98 " in the left side field of "Convert values" box.

• You may see that the value on the right side field changes as you modify the left field.

• The right side field displays a value of "36.6666666666667".

• It means that  98 ^ofahrenheit   is same as 36.66666666667 ^ocelsius

• In a similar way you can convert values of all the given physical quantities from any one unit system to another unit system.

Additional Features

• Definition Box: Whenever you select any physical quantity from the first box, the definition, dimension and SI unit of that physical quantity is displayed in the second box.
• Special quantities: You may notice that in addition to physical quantities, there are other interesting quantities are also listed. They include Computer memory, Large number prefixes ( US and scientific community ), Large number prefixes ( European ) and SI prefixes.
