CONVERSION OF UNITS

This workbook has a number of formulas for converting values into the proper
units for insertion into the equations. To use these formulas, identify the
conversion "box" which performs the desired conversion. Input the value you
wish to convert in the cell beneath the units it already is in "FROM" and
read the converted value in the cell to the right under "TO".

Follow any Special Instructions listed next to the conversion box.
