How to Convert kg Oil Equivalent to 1000 TOE Units: A Simple Guide

AI Thread Summary
To convert kg oil equivalent to 1000 TOE units, first recognize that 1 ton equals 1000 kg. Given 1698 kg of oil equivalent, you need to convert it to tons by dividing by 1000, resulting in 1.698 tons. Since 1 ton of oil equivalent equals 1 TOE, you then express this in units of 1000 TOE by dividing by 1000 again. Therefore, 1.698 tons of oil equivalent equals 0.001698 TOE. The conversion process involves dividing the initial kg amount by 1,000 twice to achieve the desired units.

I'm sorry for posting this, but I'm really confused by the following.

The problem states to use units of 1000 TOE("tons of oil equivelent, where 1 ton = 1000 kg) So if I'm given 1698 kg oil equivalent, I need to divide by 1000 twice to get to the units of 1000 TOE?

Thanks.

1 ton = 1000kg
1 ton of oil equivalent = 1000kg of oil equivalent
 
I understand that, but they want it in units of 1000 TOE, so I divide TOE by 1000, right?
 
Yes, indeed.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
