Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

Q A layer of sand extends from ground level to a depth of 9 m and overlies a layer of clay, of very low permeability, 6 m thick. The water table is 6 m below the surface of the sand. The saturated unit weight of the sand is 19 kN/m3 and that of the clay 20 kN/ m3; the unit weight of the sand above the water table is 17 kN/m3.
