1.75 m – (5 feet 8 inches) – height of average U.S. male human as of 2002 (source: U.S. CDC as per female above) 2.4 m – wingspan of a mute swan; 2.5 m – height of a sunflower; 2.7 m – length of a leatherback sea turtle, the largest living turtle; 2.72 m – (8 feet 11 inches) – tallest-known human (Robert Wadlow) [31]
While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...
Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [2] For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3.07 mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors.
If using the metric unit meters for distance and the imperial unit inches for target size, one has to multiply by a factor of 25.4, since one inch is defined as 25.4 millimeters. distance in meters = target in inches angle in mrad × 25.4 {\displaystyle {\text{distance in meters}}={\frac {\text{target in inches}}{\text{angle in mrad}}}\times 25.4}
It was a development of an earlier technique of measuring road depressions manually with a ruler under a 10 feet (3.0 m) straight-edge. [ 4 ] [ 6 ] This method had later been developed by the British Department of Transport with the use of graduated wedges which were pushed under the ruler to measure the height, but remained a slow and ...
For example, a bitmap image may measure 1000×1000 pixels, a resolution of one megapixel. If it is labeled as 250 DPI, that is an instruction to the printer to print it at a size of 4×4 inches. Changing the DPI to 100 in an image editing program would tell the printer print it at a size of 10×10 inches.
Scientists measuring the mantle width of a large female giant squid of c. 2 m (6.6 ft) ML. Mantle length (ML) is the standard size measure for coleoid cephalopods (shell diameter being more common for nautiluses) and is almost universally reported in the scientific literature.
Patagonotothen ramsayi, the longtail southern cod, rock cod, marujo (in spanish) or Notothenia, is a benthopelagic species of marine ray-finned fish of the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or the cod icefishes, native to the Patagonian Shelf in the southwest Atlantic, [3] where it is the most abundant notothen species found, dominating among medium-sized demersal fishes in the area, [4] and ...
