TECHNICAL FORMULAS TO KNOW:

MILES PER HOUR   x   .8684 = KNOTS

HORSEPOWER   x   33,000 = FT. LBS. PER MIN.

LENGTH'  x  WIDTH'  x   THK.' = CUBIC FEET

(L" x W" x T") / 144 = BOARD FEET

LENGTH' x WIDTH' = SQUARE FEET

CUBIC YARDS = CUBIC FEET / 27

SQUARE YARDS x .8361 = SQUARE METERS

FEET x 30.48 = CENTIMETERS

YARDS x .9144 = METERS

KILOMETERS x .6214 = MILES

HORSE POWER x 1.014 = METRIC H.P.

WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS

SQUARE YARDS x 9 = SQUARE FEET

CUBIC FEET x 28.32 = LITRES

1 OUNCE = 28.349 GRAMS

1 QUART = .946 LITRE

1 POUND = .454 KILOGRAMS

GALLONS x 3.785 = LITRES

GALLONS x 3785 = CUBIC CENTIMETERS

POUNDS x 453.59 = GRAMS

1 CENTIMETER = 10 MILLIMETERS

OUNCES x .0625 = POUNDS

CIRCUMFERENCE = 3.1416 x DIAMETER

PI = 3.1416

DIAMETER = CIRCUMFERENCE / 3.1416
