Litre
Definition: A litre (symbol: L or l) is a metric unit of volume. It is defined as the volume of one cubic decimetre (dm³), which is 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm.
History/origin: The litre was introduced in France in 1795 as one of the new 'republican units of measure' and defined as one cubic decimetre. It has undergone slight revisions in its definition over time.
Current use: The litre is a widely used unit for measuring liquid volume, found in various everyday applications, from beverages and fuels to household products. It is also used extensively in scientific and industrial contexts.
Cubic meter
Definition: A cubic meter (symbol: m³) is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the volume of a cube with sides one meter in length.
History/origin: The cubic meter is derived from the meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is a fundamental unit for measuring three-dimensional space.
Current use: Cubic meters are used extensively in construction, engineering, and environmental science for measuring volumes of materials like concrete, soil, and air. They are also used in calculating the capacity of large spaces.
