Guest amnj Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 This is probably an easy question but I can't seem to find the answer. How did the units of volume and water lead to the basic unit of mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blike Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 From wikipedia: The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one liter of pure water at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and standard atmospheric pressure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agaubr Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 The conversion you seek is density which is mass per unit volume so it converts mass (g) to volume and volume to mass. Ag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
