The World's most common system of measurement is called the international system of units of the SI system (SI <ra. Système international). English system is used most often actually its historical predecessor saturated steam table Origins referred to as the metric system. SI base units are the meter (length), the kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (thermodynamic temperature), mole (amount of substance) and candela (luminous intensity). Of these units is conducted in addition to derivative units whose names are either consistent with, for example, square meter (area), meter per second (speed) or kilograms per cubic meter (density), or arbitrary, such as the newton (force), pascal (pressure) and watt ( power). Multiples of the basic units can be used to indicate prefixes, for example. Kilometer = 1000 meters, centimeter = 0.01 meters and a nanosecond = 0.000 000 001 seconds. The exception is, of course, kilogram, which is one-thousandth of a gram, and a thousand time t. Some of such everyday expressions size is not used for one reason or another, saturated steam table for example. Decimeter or hehtogramma, but for example. Dekagramma in Austria is quite a usual unit of weight. saturated steam table In spoken language, the most common unit names have been shortened, saturated steam table so that the principal word has dropped out: mm 'millimeter' cent 'centimeter', a kilo of 'kilogram' desi 'decilitre' mega 'megabyte' saturated steam table giga 'GB' (the latter two are, however, somewhat exceptional cases, but more on that another time perhaps).

If the French spelling is different than in Finland, I meant the French live quotes of direction of the arrow after. Some idea of the units of measurement may be multiples of Isaac Asimov book The Measure of the Universe (1983, trans. Dimensions of the universe), or Cary and Michael Huang's interactive tool The Scale of The Universe 2. The oldest prefixes between 10 -3 - 10 3 was introduced in France saturated steam table as early as 1795, these first three orders of magnitude in both directions follow the division of labor between the two classical language: the decimation <Deci, Cent <centi- millimeters and based on the Latin words decem 'ten', centum 'hundred', and for 'a thousand', while deca- <déca-, hecto- <hecto- kilometers and are based on the Greek words δέκα 'ten', ἑκατόν 'one hundred' and χίλιοι 'one thousand'. (The odds of April 10 was in addition to its own prefix in myria- <μυριάς 'ten thousand', which is, however, longer in use.) Hecto- in itself is a bit funny that it brings to mind the word ἕκτος the 'sixth'. English form of hecto - represents a typical äänteenmuutosta saturated steam table kt> ht, which is also reflected in the older loanwords such as doctor, Tirehtööri and the offering. In Latin, the word centum yes the first part of the compound words found in the form of centi - but the meaning is not a 'one-hundredth', but 'one hundred', for example. Centipeda 'centipede', centimanus 'satakätinen'. In the same way the words are also used in decem 'Ten' and for 'thousands' decemremis' kymmenairoinen', decemplex 'ten', and the second milleformis classic "shape of a thousand '. (Cf.. Decennium the 'decade' millennium 'Millennium'.) Similarly, in Greece δεκαετής 'ten', ἑκατόμπεδος 'a hundred feet long,' χιλιόκωμος 'village of a thousand'. Δεκάμετρον is the 'measure of the ten', etymologisoivasti saturated steam table 'dekameter', but not the sense of the current meter, but the name (cf.. Hexameter, trimetri). Latin, from a poet who uses many dimensions, can be used as a poetic expression of centrimeter.
Modern SI prefixes were first approved in the range of 10 -12 - 10 December. As mentioned above, increase the prefixes based on the Greek-language words, which, saturated steam table however, the appropriate saturated steam table number of words for lack of a rather arbitrary: mega <MEGA <μέγας 'large', gigawatt <γίγας 'giant' and therapy <sharp <τέρας 'monster'. Kreikkalaisperäiset micro <the micro <μικρός 'small' and nano <νᾶνος 'dwarf' are meaningful signification behalf of opposites attachments mega and giga, but the pico <Pico
