PHY211 Unit Converter

If your browser recognized the applet tag, you would see an applet here.

It might take awhile to download the applet, please wait ...

This Java applet can be used to convert various kinds of Physics units into one another. Select the type of the units in the selection box on the top and chose a couple of units that you would like to do conversion between. Then, if you enter a numerical value in one of the text fields, you get the converted value in the other field.

The numerical value in the right textfield is recalculated every time you:

double click on a new unit (either on the left or on the right);
select a new type of units ("Length", "Mass", ... );
edit the numerical value on the left and press enter

The numerical value on the left is recalculated only if you edit the numerical value on the right and press enter.

You can also use this applet to reference major Physics constants in the bottom part of the applet.

The source of information on conversion and constants used in the creation of this applet is shown in the reference window ( press the button "Reference" ).
