A decimal fraction of the Earth’s mass is equal to 1.3166lb
This is equal to the East Asian unit the “catty” and some ancient Middle Eastern units of weight (ie a common weight)
1/1000 minutes (1/1000 nautical miles) is equal to 72.922”
Water occupying a cube of this length, has a mass of 14,009.16lb (in other words, 1000 stone)
This mass is also quite close to the above fraction of the Earth’s mass.
Also, the relationship tween the mass of water in a cube of a decimal fraction of the Earth’s circumference, and the above masses, is almost exactly 28:12 (28 and 6 being the first two of a very select & special group of numbers)
To expand, the mass of water in a decimal fraction of the earth’s diameter, is equal to around 565lb- around a qtr ton and ten talents.
