Every civil engineer should know the conversation factors got different units... It will help in site for better understanding. Let me discuss this in this article.



CONVERSION OF LENGTH 


1 CM = 10mm

1 M. = 1000 mm

1 M = 100 cm

1. KM = 1000m

1 mile = 1.6 km.

These are the basic conversions.


Let's look into some other typical conversions.


YARDS TO METERS:-

To convert yard to meter need to multiply the number with 0.9144 which is a conversion factor.

For example :- 6 yards is equals to 6 X  0.9144 = 5.48 metres.


METRES TO YARDS:-

To convert to yard need to multiply with 1.0936 I,e. The conversion factor is 1.0936.

For example :- 5 metres = 5X1.0936 = 5.48 yards.



METERS TO FEET:-

To convert meters into feet need to multiply the number which your want to convert by 3.28. 

For example :- 5 metres is equal to 5X 3.28 = 16.4 feets.


FEET TO METERS:-

To convert feet into meters need to multiply the number which your want to convert by 0.3048. 

For example :- 7 feets is equal to 7X 0.3048 = 2.13 metres.


METERS TO INCHES:- 

To convert meters into inches you need to military the number which you want to convert with 39.37.

For example :- 2 metres is equal to 2X 39.37 = 78.74 inches.


INCHES TO METERS:-

To convert inches into meters you need to the military the number which you want to convert with 0.0254. 

For example:-12 inches is equal to 12 X 0.0254 = 0.3048 metres.


YARDS TO FEET:-

To convert yards into feet, need to multiply the number which we want to convert, with 3

For example, 5 yards is equaled to 5X3 which is 15 feet.


FEET TO YARDS:-

The conversion factor is 0.333, for example, 5 feet is equal to 5 X 0.333 is 1.667 yards.


Next.....


YARDS TO INCHES:- 

One yard is equal to 36 inches, so multiply the yard with 36 numbers for yards to inches conversion.


INCHES TO YARDS:-

the conversion factor is 0.02778. same multiply the inches with 0.0278, you will get converted to yards.


FEET TO INCHES:-

For This, the conversion factor is 12 which means for example 5 feet is equal to 5X12 is 60 inches.
In the case of inches to feet conversion, the multiplication factor is 0.0833. 


This is all about conversion factors between the meters, feet, inches, and yards.
