  2. Pushforward measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushforward_measure

    The natural "Lebesgue measure" on S 1 is then the push-forward measure f ∗ (λ). The measure f ∗ (λ) might also be called "arc length measure" or "angle measure", since the f ∗ (λ)-measure of an arc in S 1 is precisely its arc length (or, equivalently, the angle that it subtends at the centre of the circle.)

  3. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Liquids and gases cannot bear steady uniaxial or biaxial compression, they will deform promptly and permanently and will not offer any permanent reaction force. However they can bear isotropic compression, and may be compressed in other ways momentarily, for instance in a sound wave. Tightening a corset applies biaxial compression to the waist.

  4. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    The rope example is an example involving a 'pull' force. The centripetal force can also be supplied as a 'push' force, such as in the case where the normal reaction of a wall supplies the centripetal force for a wall of death or a Rotor rider. Newton's idea of a centripetal force corresponds to what is nowadays referred to as a central force.

  5. Nested word - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_word

    Nested words over the alphabet = {,, …,} can be encoded into "ordinary" words over the tagged alphabet ^, in which each symbol a from Σ has three tagged counterparts: the symbol a for encoding a call position in a nested word labelled with a, the symbol a for encoding a return position labelled with a, and finally the symbol a itself for representing an internal position labelled with a.

  6. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared, or kg·m·s −2.The corresponding CGS unit is the dyne, the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, or g·cm·s −2. A newton is thus equal to ...

  8. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  9. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    The input force from this equation is the force needed to hold the load motionless on the inclined plane, or push it up at a constant velocity. If the input force is greater than this, the load will accelerate up the plane. If the force is less, it will accelerate down the plane.
