Just spotted this Freebee programme on woodnet

[Lord Nibbo]

Just downloaded it. it's quite brilliant that it will convert almost any thing :lol:

Here's a link to the web site for downloading.

Many thanks to rarebare who originally posted it.

Google will do this for you too.

eg
enter "1 cubic metre in teaspoons." in the search box

and hey presto

"1 (cubic meter) = 202 884.135 US teaspoons"


It is also not fazed by "1g in miles per fortnight per fortnight."

the answer is

"1 g = 8.91569795 × 10^9 (miles per fortnight) per fortnight"

( usually expressed as 9.81 metres per second per second)

LN - Great little app. Thanks for the link

Bob - Been using google since year dot and did not know that it had this type of calculator. Thanks
BTW. Your example:
enter "1 cubic metre in teaspoons." in the search box
and hey presto
"1 (cubic meter) = 202 884.135 US teaspoons"

Have you actually checked that this is correct ?

Cheers
Tony

Beware this program has some very severe limitations. It lacks the ability to convert measurements into even the most basic of British Standard units such as tennis courts, double decker buses, Nelsons column's or even the weight of an elephant. Useless!!!

I have to agree somewhat.

When I was going through secondary education in the late 60s, we were in the middle of the change to metric measurement units but not all schools were using the same units ( feet, pounds & seconds or Centimetres, grammes & seconds or Metres kilograms & seconds were the favour three systems)
All exam papers had instructions to the effect that we could use any units of our choice but must be consistent using one system only.

To get us ready for the exams, each weeks homework was to complete all the questions on a past exam paper.

One week we got together and decided to do all our homework in units Miles, Tonnes & Fortnights. Our poor teacher had no choice but to rework all his stock answers as we were indeed working consistently in units of our choice!!
A bit childish but we were kids after all and we did have to know our science and maths well to take the micky and get it right too!

The newfangled google calculator is useless for working in MTF
