  2. Ordinal numeral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_numeral

    Ordinal numbers may be written in English with numerals and letter suffixes: 1st, 2nd or 2d, 3rd or 3d, 4th, 11th, 21st, 101st, 477th, etc., with the suffix acting as an ordinal indicator. Written dates often omit the suffix, although it is nevertheless pronounced.

  3. Ordinal indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_indicator

    In English orthography, this corresponds to the suffixes ‑st, ‑nd, ‑rd, ‑th in written ordinals (represented either on the line 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or as superscript 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th). Also commonly encountered in Romance languages are the superscript or superior (and often underlined) masculine ordinal indicator , º , and ...

  4. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and Δν Cs. —

  5. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    However, the names of all SI mass units are based on gram, rather than on kilogram; thus 10 3 kg is a megagram (10 6 g), not a *kilokilogram. The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram (Mg), or 10 3 kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 10 3 kg and is often used with SI prefixes.

  6. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    The first established thermodynamic principle, which eventually became the second law of thermodynamics, was formulated by Sadi Carnot in 1824 in his book Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire. By 1860, as formalized in the works of scientists such as Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson , what are now known as the first and second laws were ...

  7. International Prototype of the Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_prototype_of...

    Gy = J/kg = ⁠ kg m 2 /s 2 / kg ⁠ = m 2 /s 2; S = 1/Ω = ⁠ 10 −7 s / k A m ⁠ H = Ω s = 10 7 k A m; Because the magnitude of many of the units composing the SI system of measurement was until 2019 defined by its mass, the quality of the IPK was diligently protected to preserve the integrity of the SI system.

  8. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    The first uses of prefixes in SI date back to the definition of kilogram after the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. Several more prefixes came into use, and were recognised by the 1947 IUPAC 14th International Conference of Chemistry [ 5 ] before being officially adopted for the first time in 1960.

    44–46 kg (97.0–101.4 lb; 6.9–7.2 st) At the Olympics, each weight class is a separate single-elimination tournament awarding one gold, one silver and two bronze medals in each weight class.
