What are Drop and BoardFoot

Definition of Drop

A 'drop' is a unit of volume often used in cooking to measure liquids. Traditionally, it is understood as the volume of liquid that a dropper dispenses in a single squeeze, approximately 0.05 milliliters or 0.0017 fluid ounces. However, the exact volume can vary based on the device used and the substance's viscosity.

Definition of BoardFoot

A board foot is a volume measurement used in the lumber industry, equivalent to 144 cubic inches or 1/12th of a cubic foot. It represents the volume of a one-foot length of a board one foot wide and one inch thick. Board foot calculations are crucial for pricing and buying lumber in bulk.
