convert 0.0024 cubic meters per second to gallon

0.0024 ((cubic meters) per arcsecond) = 130 774.553 US gallons

Niiiiiice. Google thinks cubic meters per second means cubic meters per arcsecond. I guess the base unit of time in the SI is an obscure thing. And I like how the arcsecond just sort of went away, but only after it had a pretty big influence on the magnitudes of things. At least they might have given me gallons per degree…

0.6340129 gallons.

I used this.

Guess I didn’t read the OP.

0.0024 cubic meters = 0.84755 cubic feet = 292.914 cubic inches.

A gallon is 231 cubic inches.

1.268 gallons

I typed .0024 cubic feet to gallons into google and got the same as runner pat.

Except it was .0024 cubic meters, not feet.

This is because you phrased your query badly.

You can’t convert cubic meters per second to gallons, because they’re not the same dimensions. One is Length^3/Time, the other one is Length^3. So google assumes that you mean arcseconds, because arcseconds are dimensionless, making both sides the same dimensions and allowing the conversion to work. Granted, it could also have assumed that you meant gallons per second, but either way it’s making a guess.

If you search for “x cubic meters per second in gallons per second”, it’ll give you the answer you want.

I mistyped. What I actually googled was .0024 m[sup]3[/sup] to gallons.

Well, I actually typed a further “s per minute” but for some reason the last few characters disappeared. I experimented around a little further and never got it to convert one flow to another. It may well have been something I was doing wrong, but not the validity of the conversion I actually typed. I would up asking it to convert the volume, and treated the seconds to minutes part on my own. I didn’t remember if “convert … to …” was the proper form, or “… in …”, or what, and the conversion wasn’t hard enough to keep trying more things. But when it became, well, mundane and pointless, I just had to bring it here…

You also don’t need to type “convert.” The search results will be slightly different, but the conversion result won’t be.

For some reason, “12 parsecs in milliseconds” doesn’t work!

Because a parsec is a unit of distance, like a light-year.

Uh huh. You wanna step a foot-lambert closer, buddy, and say that again? No, not for a peck, but can’t promise it won’t hertz. Watch out, I have a minim of fluid scruples. :slight_smile:

Yes, I know, woosh, etc. That’s the number used that Star Wars fans are fanwanking to this day, to explain that Lucas just didn’t make a mistake.

I’m trying to convert inches/second into attoparsecs/microfortnight and google is being no help at all.
