IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do  136.8* 10^{6} calculations in a microsecond or  136.8 megacalculations in a microsecond

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

There are methods for converting values with multiple units

  • Write down your problem.
  • Find the conversion for one unit
  • Multiply your number by the conversion fraction.
  • Cancel out your units.
  • Multiply with another conversion fraction the same way.
  • Cancel units.
  • Repeat until the conversion is done

The seven base quantities and their corresponding units are:

  • length (metre)
  • mass (kilogram)
  • time (second)
  • electric current (ampere)
  • thermodynamic temperature (kelvin)
  • amount of substance (mole)
  • luminous intensity (candela)

IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do 136.8 teracalculations per second. How many calculations can it do in a microsecond?

prefixes : tera = 10^{12}

micro = 10^-6, there are  10^6  microseconds \mu s in 1 second

136.8* 10^{12} \frac{calculations}{second} = 136.8* 10^{12} \frac{calculations}{10^6 \mu s}

So, it can do 136.8* 10^{6} calculations in a microsecond or  136.8 megacalculations in a microsecond. The answer is in four significant digits

There are 1,000,000 micro seconds in one second so multiple 136.8 by 1000000 and you'll get 136,800,000 Tera calculations per second.

The upward force on an airplane's wing is thrust.
kompoz [17]

No.  'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward. 

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

The work done if the forklift is operating at full capacity is 11,900 J.

We have to recall that power is defined as the rate of doing work. The rate of doing work is defined as;

Power = Work done/time taken

When;

Power = 4950 W

Time taken = 2.40 s

Work done = Power × time taken

Work done = 4950 W × 2.40 s

Work done = 11,900 J
