Kilogram in a sentence

The figure that best tells that story was Daqo’s average selling price (ASP) for its polysilicon, which plunged by nearly two-thirds to $12.33 per kilogram from $33.08 per kilogram in the year-ago quarter.

Under Executive Order (EO) 39 which took effect on Sept. 5, Marcos ordered the implementation of a price ceiling of PHP41 per kilogram on regular milled rice and PHP45 per kilogram on well-milled rice.

For more than a century, the kilogram had a very simple definition: the mass of a specific silver chunk of platinum-iridium alloy known as the International Prototype Kilogram, or IPK.

A one-kilogram mass is still a one-kilogram mass (as mass is an extrinsic property of the object) but the downward force due to gravity, and therefore its weight, is only one-sixth of what the object would have on Earth.

But using the names kilogram, gram, kilogram-force, or gram-force (or their symbols) as units of force is expressly forbidden in SI.

Effectively, this would define the kilogram as a derivative of the ampere rather than present relationship, which defines the ampere as a derivative of the kilogram.

However, since objects in microgravity still retain their mass and inertia, an astronaut must exert ten times as much force to accelerate a 10 kilogram object at the same rate as a 1 kilogram object.

In the making of the popular keropok lekor of Losong in Terengganu each kilogram of fish meat is mixed with half a kilogram of fine sago, with a little salt added for flavour.

Physicists could elect to define the kilogram in terms of 28 Si even when kilogram prototypes are made of natural silicon (all three isotopes present).

Sheet mica prices vary with grade and can range from less than $1 per kilogram for low-quality mica to more than $2,000 per kilogram for the highest quality.

Since 1889 the magnitude of the kilogram has been defined as the mass of an object called the international prototype kilogram, citation often referred to in the professional metrology world as the "IPK".

The pound-force has a metric counterpart, less commonly used than the newton: the kilogram-force (kgf) (sometimes kilopond), is the force exerted by standard gravity on one kilogram of mass.

Under this proposal, the magnitude of the kilogram would be subject to future refinement as improved measurements of the value of the Planck constant become available; electronic realizations of the kilogram would be recalibrated as required.

Using the names kilogram, gram, kilogram-force, or gram-force (or their symbols) as a unit of force is prohibited in SI; the unit of force in SI is the newton (N).

While major portions of the SI system would still be based on the kilogram, the kilogram would in turn be based on invariant, universal constants of nature.

Accordingly, the price of a 50 kilogram cement bag has been reduced from Rs.

Additionally, silver was reported at Rs 76,000 per kilogram.

A drug dealer was jailed after more than a kilogram of cocaine and £7,000 was seized from his home.

A search of Xu’s residence allegedly uncovered a fraudulent driver’s licence, 20-kilogram of pseudoephedrine, 100g of cocaine and an encrypted electronic device.

Backpacks weighing less than 1 kilogram are increasingly becoming popular, with children often required to carry electronic devices such as tablet computers in addition to textbooks and other school items.
