    Metric:

    10 mm = 1cm, 100 cm = 1m, 1000 mm = 1m, 1000m = 1 km.

    1 cm3 water = 1 gram

    1 Watt heats 1 gram of water 1 C°

    1 dm3 water = liter = 1 kg

    1 m3 = 1000 kg = 1 tonne

    Imperial:

    1 mile = ?? yards = ?? feet = ?? inches

    1 ton = ?? stone = ??punds = ?? oz = ?? grain

    1 Galon = ?? pints = ?? fluid ounce

    1 inch3 = ?? grain = ?? power to heat ?? fahrenheit

    There is no system to any of these, they are unscientific and impractical.

    How does Imperial still have any relevance as a measurement system?
