Cubic Foot
A cubic foot (ft^3) is a unit of volume representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of one foot in length.
History/Origin
The cubic foot has been used historically in the imperial and US customary measurement systems for measuring volume, especially in construction, real estate, and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the cubic foot is still used in the United States and some other regions for measuring large volumes of liquids, gases, and bulk materials, particularly in industries like construction, shipping, and HVAC.
Megaliter
A megaliter (ML) is a unit of volume equal to one million liters.
History/Origin
The megaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a larger unit for measuring large volumes, especially in water management and environmental contexts, following the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Current Use
Megaliters are used today in fields such as hydrology, water resource management, and environmental science to quantify large volumes of liquids, particularly water.
