Here are some handy conversions that you can come back to as needed: Length: 1 m = 100 cm, 1 km = 1,000 m Mass: 1 kg = 1,000 g, 1 slug = 14.59 kg Force: 1 lb (pound) = 4.448 N, 1 N = 10 5 dynes Energy: 1 J = 10 7 ergs, 1 J = 0.7376 ft-lb Power: 1 hp (horsepower) = 550 ft-lb/s, 1 W (watt) = 0.7376 ft-lb/s Consider the unit you are converting from: take note of the multiplier. Find the multiplier of the unit you are converting into. Divide the multipliers and multiply the result by the value of the first unit. Change the prefix to the desired one. Length: 1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1,000 m ... Mass: 1 kg = 1,000 g 1 slug = 14.59 kg ... Force: 1 lb (pound) = 4.448 N 1 N = 10 5 dynes ...

Length: 1 m = 100 cm, 1 km = 1,000 m

Mass: 1 kg = 1,000 g, 1 slug = 14.59 kg

Force: 1 lb (pound) = 4.448 N, 1 N = 10 5 dynes

Energy: 1 J = 10 7 ergs, 1 J = 0.7376 ft-lb

Power: 1 hp (horsepower) = 550 ft-lb/s, 1 W (watt) = 0.7376 ft-lb/s
