Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

How to solve this can you.please help.
The coefficient of permeability below a dam is 12 m/day. The water in the upstream side is 32 meter higher than on the downstream side (level with the ground). To estimate the seepage below the dam, a flow net is graphically drawn such that the number of potential drops, Nd = 8 and the number of flow channels Nf = 3. The base of the dam is founded 1.8 m below the ground. Between the heel and the toe of the dam, a distance of 32 meters, there are 6 potential drops. a. Estimate the seepage per meter length of the dam in liters per minute. (IN EXPONENTIAL FORM AND IN 2 DECIMAL PLACES) b. Determine the uplift pressure at the heel in kPa. (IN 2 DECIMAL PLACES) c. Determine the uplift pressure at the toe in kPa. (IN 2 DECIMAL PLACES)
