Question

The batting Wang Xiu Ying uses to fill quilts has a thermal conductivity rate of
\[0.03\] watts
\[(\text{W})\] per meter
\[(\text{m})\] per degree Celsius
\[(^\circ\text{C})\].
What is the batting's thermal conductivity value in

\[\dfrac{\text{W}}{\text{cm}\cdot^\circ\text{C}}\]?

Answer 1

0.0003 W/(cm·°C) (which is 3 × 10^-4 W/(cm·°C))

Reason: 1 m = 100 cm, so 0.03 W/(m·°C) = 0.03/(100) W/(cm·°C) = 0.0003 W/(cm·°C).
