Note however, that specific disciplines such as oceanography, as well as educational exercises, do use the "ppt" abbreviation. "One part per thousand" denotes one part per 1,000 (10 3) parts, and a value of 10 −3. This is equivalent to about ninety seconds out of one day. One part per ten thousand is denoted by the permyriad sign (‱).
In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.
meter per second (m/s) specific heat capacity: joule per kilogram per kelvin (J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1) viscous damping coefficient kilogram per second (kg/s) electric displacement field also called the electric flux density coulomb per square meter (C/m 2) density: kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m 3) diameter: meter (m)
Specific rotation of a chemical, angle of optical rotation α of plane-polarized light per standard sample with a path length of one decimeter and a sample concentration of one gram per millilitre Specific speed , unitless figure of merit [ clarification needed ] used to classify pump impellers (pump-specific) and turbines (turbine-specific).
A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.
The word promille is the cognate in Dutch, German, Finnish and Swedish, and is sometimes seen as a loanword in English with the same meaning as per mille. [7] [4] The symbol is included in the General Punctuation block of Unicode at U+2030 ‰ PER MILLE SIGN. [5] There is also an Arabic-Indic per mille sign at U+0609 ؉ ARABIC-INDIC PER MILLE SIGN.
Flux F through a surface, dS is the differential vector area element, n is the unit normal to the surface. Left: No flux passes in the surface, the maximum amount flows normal to the surface.
