Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
Cubic Meter
A cubic meter (m^3) is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube with edges one meter long.
History/Origin
The cubic meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the wavelength of light in vacuum.
Current Use
The cubic meter is widely used in science, engineering, and industry to measure large volumes of liquids, gases, and solids, especially in contexts like construction, manufacturing, and environmental science.
