Normal Body Temperature  =  98.6 oF

Pressure  =  Force/Area
1 Pascal, Pa  =  1 N/m2  =  1.45 x 10-4 lb/in2
1 bar  =  105 N/m2  =  14.50 lb/in2
1 atmosphere, atm  =  760 mm Hg  =  76.0 cm Hg  =  760 torr  =  14.50 lb/in2  =  1.01325 x 105 N/m2 (or Pa)
Air pressure at sea level is approximately  =  1 atm  =  1 bar  =  105 N/m2  (or Pa)   =  14.50 lb/in2
Water pressure increases 9810 N/m2  for each meter of depth or 0.433 lb/in2 for each foot of depth

Work and Energy or Heat Work  =  Force  x  parallel distance
1 joule, J  =  0.738 ft . lb  =  107 ergs
1 calorie, cal  =  4.18 J  =  0.00442 British Thermal Units, Btu
1 foot pound, ft . lb  =  1.36 J
1 Btu  =  252 cal  =  778 ft·lb  =  1.054 x 103 J
1 electron Volt, eV  =   1.602 x 10-19 J
931.5 million electron volts,MeV is equivalent to 1 atomic mass unit, u

Power  =  Work/time
1 horse power, hp  =  550 ft·lb/s  =  0.746 kilowatts, kW  =  746 W
1 Watt, W  =  1 J/s  =  0.738 ft·lb/s  =  0.00134 hp
1 Btu/hr  =  0.293 W
1 kW  =  1.34 hp

2 meters is bigger,but only by a little bit.2 meters converted into feet equals 6.56167979 feet. 6 feet=1.83 meters
btw A meter is about 3.3 times larger than a foot.
also 1 foot=0.3 meter,2 feet = 0.6 meter. A meter is closer to a yard,which is 3 feet.
