SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting density units from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to kilograms per cubic foot (kg/ft³). The conversion method involves using the relationship that 1000 grams equals 1 kilogram and that 2.54 centimeters equals 1/12 of a foot. Participants also mention utilizing online tools like Google Calculator for quick conversions. The conversation highlights the importance of precise unit definitions, particularly the exact conversion of inches to centimeters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic unit conversions
  • Familiarity with the metric and imperial measurement systems
  • Basic programming knowledge, particularly in Visual Basic Script (VBS)
  • Knowledge of density and its measurement units
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implementation of unit conversion functions in Visual Basic Script (VBS)
  • Learn about additional unit conversion tools and libraries
  • Explore the mathematical principles behind density calculations
  • Investigate online APIs for unit conversions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for software developers, particularly those working on calculators or applications that require unit conversions, as well as students and professionals needing to understand density conversions between metric and imperial systems.

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a conversion method for these two units.

I'm developing a calculator (simple VBS script) to convert units and was asked by a friend to include this conversion if possible.

I'm Struggling to work out a equation or conversion method that I can use.

All help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Use 1000 g = 1 Kg and 2.54 cm = 1/12 ft (approx).

IIRC, in the USA at least, an inch is defined as 2.54 cm exactly.

Hey, you're right! (D'oh!)
