  2. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    A milliradian (SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). ). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of one degree. [1] Since one degree is ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is ⁠ 1 / 21 600 ⁠ of a turn.

  5. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The correct branch of the multiple valued function arctan x to use is the one that makes ν a continuous function of E(M) starting from ν E=0 = 0. Thus for 0 ≤ E < π use arctan x = arctan x, and for π < E ≤ 2π use arctan x = arctan x + π. At the specific value E = π for which the argument of tan is infinite, use ν = E.

  6. Stokes number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_number

    [2] In experimental fluid dynamics, the Stokes number is a measure of flow tracer fidelity in particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments where very small particles are entrained in turbulent flows and optically observed to determine the speed and direction of fluid movement (also known as the velocity field of the fluid). For acceptable ...

  7. McFarland standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarland_standards

    A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl 2 •2H 2 O), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). [ 1 ] Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.

  8. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    In air, which has a kinematic viscosity around 0.15 cm 2 /s, this means that the product of object speed and diameter must be more than about 0.015 m 2 /s. Unfortunately, the equations of motion can not be easily solved analytically for this case. Therefore, a numerical solution will be examined. The following assumptions are made:

  9. Noise reduction coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction_coefficient

    The noise reduction coefficient is "a single-number rating, rounded to the nearest 0.05, of the sound absorption coefficients of a material for the four one-third octave bands at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz". [4]
