Difference between perpendicular and orthogonal

When two lines are at right angles to each other, we call it perpendicular.
When two surfaces are at right angles to each other, we call it orthogonal.

So for lines - perpendicular

for surfaces - orthogonal.

How much does 1 cubic meter of soil weight?

As I was looking for the answer, I came across to WikiAnswers, which says 'a cubic foot of top soil weighs 75 - 100 pounds'. let's say 100 pound. We make it in meters and kilograms, 1 ft * 1 ft * 1 ft = 100 pounds, or 0.3048 m * 0.3048 m * 0.3048 m = 100 pounds, or (1 ft = 0.3048 meter) 0.0283 cubic...
