Book Description
Excerpt from Ready Reference Tables, Vol. 1: Conversion Factors of Every Unit or Measure in Use A new feature has been added in the form of convenient approximate values consisting often of only one and generally of only two digits. These digits have been so chosen that the reduce the calculation to the simplest possible; they will be found to s ce for most of the ordinary computa tions, being always correct within The correct logarithms have also been given for nearly all of the conversion factors. Another new feature not generally found in tables of conversion factors, is that the values of most of the compound units are given. This saves double, triple, or even more lengthy calculations, in which errors are likely to be made, as they often involve both multiplications and divisions. A table of physical quantities has been added giving the derivation, symbols, dimensional formula, etc., of each; the table is similar to the one approved by the International Congress at Chicago, but includes many more quantities.
