Simply divide 1
m (meter)
in exactly 10 parts,
each of which measures
10 cm
(centimeters).
Then make a cube container
that is
10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm
(1000 cm³)
that we can fill with water.
|
And like magic, when you
fill this cube container with water, it has the
volume
of exactly
1
L (liter).

But then, when you place this
cube filled with water on
a
scale
it has a mass
of exactly
1 kg (kilogram).
How
about that?
Length, Volume and Mass
all simply related in 10.
Both spellings, meter
and metre, as well as liter and litre
are acceptable.
It is just a lot easier
to use symbols
|
Just remember that for everyday
purposes
ENJOY THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
Length
of 1
m (meter), Volume
of 1 L (liter)
and Mass
of 1 kg (kilogram).

DID
YOU KNOW?
(Learning Video)
that you can divide 1 meter
by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)
then make
a cube (1000 cm³) of it to fill with
water
and you will find that it contains
exactly 1 L (1 litre)
(1000 mL)
of water
and is the mass of exactly 1
kg (1 kilogram) (1000 g).
