The word "acre" is derived from Old English cer originally meaning "open field", cognate to west coast Norwegian kre and Swedish ker, German acker, Latin ager, and Greek αγρ (agros).

304.8
In actual, the average foot length is about 9.4 inches (240 mm) for current Europeans. Approximately 99.6% of British men have a foot that is less than 12 inches long. One attempt to "explain" the "missing" inches is that the measure did not refer to a naked foot, but to the length of footwear, which could theoretically add an inch or two to the naked foot's length. This is consistent with the measure being convenient for practical uses such as building sites. People almost always pace out lengths while wearing shoes or boots, rather than removing them and pacing barefoot.
Now, the foot in SI unit is equivalent to 304.8 mili meter.

25.4
The English word inch comes from Latin uncia meaning "one twelfth part" (in this case, one twelfth of a foot); the word ounce (one twelfth of a troy pound) has the same origin. The vowel change from u to i is umlaut; the consonant change from c (pronounced as k) to ch is palatalization (see Old English phonology).
Anyway, the one inch is equivalent to 25.4 mili meter.

F = G x (m1 x m2)/r^2
The constant of proportionality, G, is the gravitational constant.
The gravitational constant is perhaps the most difficult physical constant to measure to high accuracy. In SI units, the 2006 CODATA-recommended value of the gravitational constant is 6.67428 x 10^-11.

The value of nuclear magneton is defined as follows;
μN = e / 2 mp = 5.05078324(13)×10−27
J/T
where:
e is the elementary charge,
is the reduced Planck constant,
mp is the proton rest mass.

The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. With the exception of hydrogen, nuclei of atoms consist of protons and neutrons, which are therefore collectively referred to as nucleons. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. The number of neutrons is the neutron number and determines the isotope of an element. For example, the abundant carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the very rare radioactive carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

The value is defined as 1/(c0^2 x μ0), where c0 is the speed of light in vacuum and μ0 is the magnetic constant.
The most common use of this constant is Gauss's law; Φ = Q/ε0.
