    1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.

    Meanwhile if you convert feet to miles, you get 5,280, for some reason.
