How to Apply Universal Constants and Unit Conversions

All the Universal constants or Physical/Chemical constants such as ‘Gravitational constant’, ‘Speed of light’, ‘Avogadro’s number’ etc are available in ZCubes in a way they can be used in functions. This video demonstrates how to use these constants in Z programming or spreadsheet computations using easy notations. ZCubes handles computations with ‘Units’ which is extremely useful in scientific computations.

Universal Constants and Unit Conversions

Examples

Universal constants that are pre-defined in ZCubes can be used in functions by using '%' symbol before the constant parameter.

E.g 1] To calculate the Energy 'E', the universal constant value of speed of light can be used directly in ZCubes as:

$E:=m*\%c^{2};$
$E(2)$

displays the result as 179751035747363520.

E.g 2] To calculate the Force 'F', the gravitational constant can be used in ZCubes as:

$F:=m*\%g;$
$F(2)$

displays the result as 19.6133.

E.g 3] To calculate the Energy 'E'and display it using appropriate unit, the ZCubes code can be written as:

$E:=m*\%c^{2};$
$E(2kg)<>J$ ..'J(Joule)' is the MKS unit of Energy

displays the result as 179751035747363520J.
