It was thus said that the Great FBA once stated:
Essentially, this means that 1 Litre of pure water
weighs 1Kg and is
where the basic units came from.
1 Litre will also fit quite nicely in a cube 10cm a side.
At 4 degrees Celcius at sea level, don't forget.
I thought all standards ie:
1L
1 meter
1 kg
and others.
Were taken when temperature is at 20 C? Thats what I hear and this
is true when working in science and chemistry.
I thought it was at 4C since water has the highest density at sea level at
that tempurature (it then starts expanding again as the tempurature rises).
What I remember learning (somewhere, I don't recall where) that one gram
was one cubic centimeter of water at 4C.

looking ... )
