INCH-POUND
Non-
System
PLEASE NOTE:
NONE OF THIS EXAMPLE BELOW IS POSSIBLE...
WE JUST IMAGINE IT TO ILLUSTRATE
HOW NOTHING WITH INCH-POUND MEASUREMENT
IS RELATED TO ANYTHING.
Let's IMAGINE a person from another archaic country
or planet that wanted to know how you could possibly make the
old "inch-pound non-system"
easy to understand by
demonstrating how
Length,
Liquid
and Weight
MIGHT somehow relate to each other
with inch-pound measurement.
IMAGINE...
IF you
could take the length of a yard and divide it by exactly
ten equal parts... so we can make a cube container with
those same
equal sides to hold water... |
|
...then by some
strange course of events IMAGINE again IF we could fill that cube
container with water
AND that cube contained the liquid of exactly
1 quart which, when placed on a scale weighed
exactly 1 pound. |
|
"You'd likely say,
that's easy!
Let's go party!" |
