Job Info 1, Lvl. 2 Lesson 6

Meter
Explanation: The metric system is based on the meter, which is the primary unit of length. The meter was originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This definition was later refined, and the meter is now defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

10
Explanation: The metric system is a system of measurement that is based on the number 10. This system is used in many countries around the world and is the most widely used system of measurement. The metric system is simple because all of the units of measurement are based on the number 10. For example, the unit of length is the meter and the unit of mass is the kilogram.

Ten
Explanation: The decimal system of numbers is based on the number 10. The number 10 is used because it is the number of fingers on two hands.

Tenth
Explanation: The prefix deci means one tenth.

Volume
Explanation: A deciliter is a unit of measure of volume or capacity. It is equal to one tenth of a liter, or 10 milliliters.

Cubic meter; Gram; Liter; Meter; Square meter
Explanation: The five major units of metric measure are: length, mass, time, electric current, and thermodynamic temperature.

3.54 m
Explanation: There are 3.54 meters in 35.4 decimeters.

Before
Explanation: The metric system is used to express measurements in the metric system. The metric system uses the International System of Units (SI) to express measurements. The SI unit for length is the meter (m). The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). The SI unit for time is the second (s). The SI unit for electric current is the ampere (A). The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin (K). The SI unit for amount of substance is the mole (mol). The SI unit for luminous intensity is the candela (cd).

422.914 meters
Explanation: 42,291.4 centimeters is equal to 422.914 meters. To convert from centimeters to meters, divide the number of centimeters by 100.

Every new federal construction project must be developed using metric measurements.
Explanation: The presidential Executive Order 12770 mandated that as of September 30, 1992, all federal agencies must use the Standard Form (SF) 3161, Appointment of Foreign Service Officer, to make appointments of career Foreign Service officers.

System International
Explanation: SI stands for the International System of Units. The metric system is a system of units that is used internationally. The SI system is based on the metric system and includes the SI unit of mass, the kilogram.

Metrication will have a positive effect.
Explanation: There is no definitive answer to this question as the effect of metrication on America's global competitiveness will likely vary depending on the particular industry or sector. Some experts believe that metrication could actually improve America's competitiveness in certain areas, as it would allow for more seamless trade with metric-using countries and could lead to more efficient production processes. Other experts believe that the costs associated with metrication (e.g., training workers, updating equipment) could outweigh any potential benefits, and that America's global competitiveness could suffer as a result.

Section 90.9 requires that SI units (metric units) appear first and that the inch-pound units shall immediately follow in parentheses.
Explanation: The National Electrical Code (NEC) uses the International System of Units (SI) for all units of measurement. The NEC does not currently have any specific requirements for the use of SI units, but the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed a set of guidelines for the use of SI units in electrical and electronic products, which the NEC references.
