Facts about Cubic Meter
Basic facts: A cubic meter is a unit of measurement used to measure the volume of a cube. This cube is an ideal cube. The length, width, and height are all the same and equal to 1 meter. One meter is equivalent to around 3.28 feet.
History: The cubic metre [in international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and in Commonwealth English] or cubic meter [in American English] is the SI derived unit of volume. Its SI symbol is m3. An alternative name, which allowed a different usage with metric prefixes, was the stère, still sometimes used for dry measure [for example, in reference to wood]. Another alternative term, no longer widely used, was the kilolitre.
Use: We use a cubic meter as a unit to measure the amount of stuff we can fit into that cube, also called the volume of the cube. So, we could use cubic meters to explain, for instance, how much cement you would need to fill the swimming pool in your front yard or how much sand you would need to fill your sandbox.
How do we measure volume? It is different than measuring the distance of a line or the area of a flat shape. In order to find volume, you should measure the object or space from three sides: width, depth, and height, and then multiply the measurements together.
Let’s say that you want to measure the volume of your swimming pool. It measures 2 meters deep [i.e., height], 10 meters wide [i.e., width], and 12 meters long [i.e., length]. To find the cubic meters, you multiply the three together like so 2 x 10 x 12 = 240 cubic meters.
Facts about Cubic Yard
Basic facts: A cubic yard [symbol: yd3] is the United States customary and imperial unit of the volume represented as the volume of a cube with measurements 1 yd × 1 yd × 1 yd. In other words, it is a unit of volume equal to a cube one yard long on each side. It is equivalent to 27 cubic feet, 0.7645549 cubic meters, and 764.5549 liters.
The IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] symbol for the cubic yard is yd³. Also, the following abbreviations are used – cubic yards, cubic yard, cubic yds, cubic yd, cu yards, cu yard, cu yds, cu yd, CYs etc.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per second [1 yd3/s]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every second.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per minute [1 yd3/min]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every minute.
History: The international yard is the base of the cubic yard. The international yard was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s and is equivalent to 0.9144 meters.
Use: The cubic yard is used to some extent in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. All of these countries also use metric or SI [International System of Units] measurements for volumes like liters, milliliters, and cubic meters.
