My two pints worth |
A fluid quart is twice as much as a fluid pint, and its weight is twice
as much too.

It has twice as much mass too.

Congradulations. You've learned the relationship between two standard
units; something that most people have learned in grade school. And
you've learned that when you double something, you get twice as much;
also learned in grade school by most people. You have now risen to a
double-digit I.Q. (just barely). Don't get too exited though, senility
will soon push that back down.

But only sqrt(2) times the surface area, given the same proportions. So, that's
why cells that reach the volume of a quart can no longer support themselves
through absorbtion and secretion, and have to mitosisize themselves into two
pints. It also makes them easier to drink without looking like some kind of a
hooligan.
Now, with solid quarts and pints, and especially with plasma ones, this isn't
always the case. :)

If I weigh a fluid quart at the north pole and a fluid pint at the
equator, will the quart still have twice the wright of the pint?

They'll be equal in outer space. :)

The real question is "Which weighs more, a fluid quart in Miami
or two fluid pints in Katmandu?"

Last I heard they hadn't used a quart or a pint as a unit of measure
except maybe in cooking.
It takes too long to use mL, even in cooking, and no one's got the
patience for it.
Most cooks use quarts and pints. That's close enough for most ordinary
cooking.

Except for "English" beer/ale (pints)... and in American, a lot of
stuff is sold by quarts and pints (although, of course, they are
also labeled in liters... ________________________Gerard S.

That's because they can't spell litres...

I'm pretty handy around the kitchen, and I almost never use quarts and
pints. I usually use cups and tablespoons.

And if you are from continental Europe you won't even use cups. Small
measures can be teaspoons or tablespoons, else it is ml, dl or l or you
measure in weight (mass speaking as a physicist) which would be g or kg.

My car manual lists oil capacity in quarts.
Office equipment manufacturers list trash cans with their capacity in
quarts.
You need to get out more, Don. The world is broader than what you can
call up from your personal memory.
It takes too long to use mL, even in cooking, and no one's got the
patience for it.
Actually, most of the chefs of Europe use recipes and measuring tools
that refer to mL and L and not to oz or pts or qts. In fact, if you
look at the Pyrex measuring cup in your cupboard, it very likely has mL
measurements.
One glance at the cookbook section at a bookstore in Paris or Bern or
Amsterdam will convince you of this.

Most cooks in the USA use quarts and pints with an occasional spoonful.

Ah, here we go. "The things I'm familiar with in my back yard are
sufficient for ordinary use in my back yard. Therefore, it should be
sufficient for everyone everywhere in every use."
Parochialism, Don. Bad habit. Life is much more rewarding if you to
spend more time expanding your horizons, rather than trying to confine
the world to your narrow horizon.

Incidetally, how much mass is in a pint of pure water? How is it
measured?

Convert the units and find out, dumb donny.
When will you learn unit conversion? You could teach Y. Porat how to
write English and he could teach you how to ***** up something harder
than Physics 101.

What kind of pint are you referring to? Imperial? US?
Actually, why would anybody use such ambiguous measurements? You're
completely fuddy-duddy, Don, and you know it.
