Quantity System Framework – Quantity System Library and Calculator for Units Conversions and Quantities predictions; List of units with selected conversion factors; Historical "Arithmetic Conventions for Conversion Between Roman [i.e. Ottoman] and Egyptian Measurement" is a manuscript from 1642, in Arabic, which is about units of measurement.
Decimal degrees (DD) is a notation for expressing latitude and longitude geographic coordinates as decimal fractions of a degree.DD are used in many geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping applications such as OpenStreetMap, and GPS devices.
A common adjustment value in firearm sights is 1 cm at 100 meters which equals 10 mm / 100 m = 1 / 10 mrad. The true definition of a milliradian is based on a unit circle with a radius of one and an arc divided into 1,000 mrad per radian, hence 2,000 π or approximately 6,283.185 milliradians in one turn , and rifle scope ...
Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. [1]
Also the copy is blurred up enough to give you the impression that maybe what it really means is 1.36 W −1 cm −1 K −1 and 78.6 Btu hr −1 ft −1 F −1 and a type-head that got overdue for its cleaning since the secretary had a tall heap of papers on her desk and if that is the case then the multilingual expression is perfectly ...
h is the depth of the puddle in centimeters or meters. γ is the surface tension of the liquid in dynes per centimeter or newtons per meter. g is the acceleration due to gravity and is equal to 980 cm/s 2 or 9.8 m/s 2; ρ is the density of the liquid in grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per cubic meter
Young pines were found to have a form factor between 0.33 and 0.35, forest grown pines in the age class of 150 years or more had a form factor of between 0.36 and 0.44, and stocky old-growth outlier pines would on occasion achieve a form factor of between 0.45 and 0.47. The form factor concept is parallel to idea of percent cylinder occupation.
This was an official unit of measurement in South Africa until the 1970s, and was defined in November 2007 by the South African Law Society as having a conversion factor of 1 morgen = 0.856 532 hectares. [27] This unit of measure was also used in the Dutch colonial province of New Netherland (later New York and parts of New England). [28] [29]
