Cubic Centimeters per second to Litres per second conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to litres per second?

To convert from Cubic Centimeters per second $(\text{cm}^3/\text{s})$ to Litres per second $(\text{L}/\text{s})$, we need to use the fact that:

1 Litre = 1000 Cubic Centimeters.

So, to convert 1 Cubic Centimeter per second to Litres per second, you can use the following formula:

$\text{Flow Rate in Litres per second} = \text{Flow Rate in Cubic Centimeters per second} \div 1000$

For 1 Cubic Centimeter per second:

$1 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 0.001 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

Therefore, 1 Cubic Centimeter per second is equivalent to 0.001 Litres per second.

Real World Examples:

1. 5 cm³/s: A small garden hose trickle. $5 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 0.005 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

2. 50 cm³/s: Flow rate used in laboratory experiments. $50 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 0.05 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

3. 250 cm³/s: Small aquarium pump. $250 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 0.25 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

4. 1000 cm³/s: Kitchen faucet when fully opened. $1000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 1 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

5. 5000 cm³/s: Fire hoses in use by firefighters. $5000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} \div 1000 = 5 \, \text{L}/\text{s}$

Each example demonstrates how even relatively small changes in the volume flow rate in Cubic Centimeters per second can have practical and varied applications in real-life situations.
