AI Thread Summary
To convert cm^4 to m^4, each centimeter must be converted to meters, which involves dividing by 100, since 100 cm equals 1 m. Therefore, to convert 92644 cm^4 to m^4, you would calculate (92644 cm^4) / (100^4) to find the equivalent in m^4. The conversion for area (cm^2 to m^2) follows a similar principle, where 100 cm equals 1 m, leading to 10,000 cm^2 equating to 1 m^2. Understanding the difference between linear and quartic measurements is crucial for accurate conversions. The final result will yield the correct measurement in cubic meters.

I need to know how to convert cm4 to m4

I have 92644cm4 and want it in m4

Thanks.

Do you know how to convert cm to m?

cm2 to m2?
 
yes but my teacher says when its m^4 its different than if its just m?
 
It is.

You have to convert each cm into m...

That's why I asked not only about converting cm to m, but also about converting cm2 to m2...
 
100 cm = 1 m
so (100 cm)2 = 10,000 cm2 = (1 m)2 = 1 m2

And so on until you figure out how many cm4 are in 1 m4 (1 "quartic" meter).
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
