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
