It was thus said that the Great FBA once stated:
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.
All matter change size with temperature change. Low, smaller and
higher, larger. EXCEPT: water. Weird matter and bane of water
destroyer if containers/pipe water filled is left to freeze. FYI:
1 inch thick made of strongest stuff closed container filled w/
water, no air pocket. Will burst still. 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.
Cheers,
Wizard
