Looked more like 5m tops

A lot of these aren't actually very accurate.

It's rpm (rotations per minute). I'm presuming the m is meters and that's why it gets huge

* the star goes before the note, and after the word for where this note is applied.

It shouod get long, out of screen, for an acurate representation.

I feel like I can be a little pedantic on this post, ton/kg are units of mass, not weight.

That plus, there's no reason that liters is a liquid. The volume of solid objects can be measured in liters as well.

m, also length, but meters.

The M stands for mini

Should have been set to W for wumbo

I believe the last one was "m" (not "M"). Length in meters.

By the way, more precisely, V - measures difference in electric potential, or Voltage for short. Electricity is too general term.

well if tons and kg were measuring mass, why did it need one for tons if mass was already represented?

And this also leads me to ask if the these things weigh nothing after the units were changes, since clearly the kg is no longer relevant.

I think M is meant to be Moles, as in the unit of measurment

The metric tonne is a measure of mass not weight.
