Measures of Weight and Temperature

We discuss the difference between weight and mass. The units of the U.S. Customary System (ounces, pounds, tons) are units of weight while the units of the Metric System (grams, kilograms, metric tonnes) are units of mass. Countries which use the Metric System's units of mass treat these measures as units of weight. For the purpose of this course, we will consider units in both of these systems as representing the same physical quality (weight).

The Fahrenheit scale and Celsius scale for temperature are discussed. We will use formulas to convert temperature between these two scales.
