AI Thread Summary
To convert .4350 into cubic centimeters, the original units must be identified, as conversion requires this information. The user is working on a race engine and mentioned that the number likely relates to material removed from a piston, but the specific units were not provided. It is suggested to contact the manufacturer for clarification on the units used. Without this information, accurate conversion cannot be achieved. Understanding the original measurement is crucial for proper conversion to cubic centimeters.

Hello all:

Can someone please convert .4350 (math is not one of my stronger areas) into cubic centimeters for me? If this is not the right forum, please direct me to where i need to be.

Thanks, "Z."

You didn't say what the current units are...

Thank you. I can't say for sure what the current units are. I am assembling a race engine and the piston manufacture provided .4350 as an indicator of material removed from the piston so as to provide room for the valves to open. Ordinarily that number would be provided in cc's. Such as; Valve Pocket Depth is 9.3cc. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not provide "simple" numbers that I am use to dealing with. I hope this helps.
 
Maybe it is already in cc's? I would call/email the manufacturer.

Without knowing the original units, it is impossible to convert them to other units. You'll need to ask the manufacturer what units he was using.
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
