WATER CONSUMPTION FACT SHEET Consumption charges under the water bylaw are set at a base rate of 1.23 cents per cubic metre. A cubic metre equals the following amounts in other units of measure which may be more familiar to customers. Cost Per Unit One cubic metre = 1,000 litres $0.00123 per litre = 220 gallons $0.005591 per gallon Based on our meter readings, it appears that the average household uses about .78 cubic metres per day (789 litres or 172 gallons per day) which equates to about 96 cents per day in consumption charges. The following table gives approximate costs for various water uses based on average consumption rates. Base rates only used in calculations Average Volume Cost in Use Unit (Cubic Metres) Dollars Toilet flush - low flow per flush 0.007 0.009 Toilet flush - standard per flush 0.020 0.025 Bathtub fill - standard per fill 0.140 0.172 Bathtub fill - over sized per fill 0.250 0.307 Washing machine per full load 0.200 0.246 Dishwasher per load 0.050 0.062 Shower - low flow head 10 min. shower 0.090 0.111 Shower - standard head 10 min. shower 0.275 0.338 Lawn sprinkler - low flow per hour 0.950 1.169 Underground irrigation system per hour 2.720 3.346 Leaking faucets, toilets and other fixtures can increase your consumption amounts dramatically, as shown below. Check for leaks and fix them as soon as possible. In most cases, all that is required to fix the problem and save water and money is a washer worth a few cents.

The Astronomical Units
The astronomical units N. Capitaine and B. Guinot November 5, 2018 SYRTE, Observatoire de Paris, CNRS, UPMC 61, avenue de l’Observatoire, 75014 Paris, France e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The IAU-1976 System of astronomical constants includes three astronomical units (i.e. for time, mass and length). This paper reports on the status of the astronomical unit of length (ua) and mass (MSun) within the context of the recent IAU Resolutions on reference systems and the use of modern observations in the solar system. We especially look at a possible re-definition of the ua as an astronomical unit of length defined trough a fixed relation to the SI metre by a defining number. Keywords: reference systems, astronomical constants, numerical standards 1. INTRODUCTION The IAU-1976 System of astronomical constants includes three astronomical units, namely the astronomical unit of time, the day, D, which is related to the SI by a defining number (D=86400 s), the astronomical unit of mass, i.e. the mass of the Sun, MSun, and the astronomical unit of length, ua. Questions related to the definition, numerical value and role of the astronomical units have been discussed in a number of papers, e.g. (Capitaine & Guinot 1995), (Guinot 1995), (Huang et al. 1995), (Standish 1995, 2004) and (Klioner 2007). The aim of this paper is to report on recent views on these topics. The role of the astronomical unit of time, which (as is the Julian century of 36 525 days) is to provide a unit of time of convenient size for astronomy, does not need further discussion.

This Civil Aviation Regulations-Air Navigation Services (CAR-ANS) Part 5 was developed based on the Standards and Recommended Practices prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as contained in Annex 5 which was first adopted by the council on 16 April 1948 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention of International Civil Aviation (Chicago 1944), and consequently became applicable on 1 January 1949. The provisions contained herein are issued by authority of the Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and will be complied with by all concerned.

Units and Prefixes
Mechanics 1.2. Units and Prefixes In the study of mechanics we come across many different quantities. Each quantity has its own units. We need to be able to work with these units. The International System of Units There are a number of different systems of units in use. However, only the modern metric system, known as the International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French, Syste`me International d’Unite´s) will be used in these leaflets. In nearly every mechanics problem we encounter the quantities mass, length and time. As shown in Table 1, the units of these quantities are defined to be kilograms, metres and seconds respectively; these are arbitrarily defined but have become accepted standard units. The units of many other quantities can be derived from physical laws. To illustrate this point consider the units of force in Table 1. The units of force are derived from Newton’s second law (see mechanics sheet 2.2) which relates the quantity force (F) to mass (m) and acceleration (a) and can, for a body of constant mass, be expressed as F = ma. From this law we can determine what the units of force must be; acceleration is measured in units m s−2 and mass is measured in kg so force is measured in kg m s−2 which are called newtons (N) in mechanics. Quantity Dimensional Symbol Unit Symbol Mass M kilogram kg Length L metre m Time T second s Force F newton N (= m kg s−2) Table 1: Fundamental quantities in mechanics Prefixes When a numerical unit is either very small or very large, the units used to define its size may be modified by using a prefix.
