  2. Simpson's rules (ship stability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rules_(ship...

    Simpson's rules are used to calculate the volume of lifeboats, [6] and by surveyors to calculate the volume of sludge in a ship's oil tanks. For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_restriction_laws

    Buildings in the Petaling Jaya suburb of Kelana Jaya were previously capped at 15 floors (around 50–60 m (160–200 ft) in height) because of the close proximity to Subang International Airport, less than 5 km (3.1 mi) away. The height restriction was lifted in 1998 when commercial jet operations were relocated to the Kuala Lumpur ...

  4. Rule of three (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(aeronautics)

    In aviation, the rule of three or "3:1 rule of descent" is a rule of thumb that 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) of travel should be allowed for every 1,000 feet (300 m) of descent. [1] [2] For example, a descent from flight level 350 would require approximately 35x3=105 nautical miles. This would have to be adjusted for headwind or tailwind, [1] and ...

    However, because the difference between wet and dry is half-a-second at 30 MPH and one second at 60 MPH, and because dividing by two is easier than three, we can use a correctable rule of thumb: t ≈ v 20 + 1 (general rule of thumb) {\displaystyle \color {Sepia}{t\approx {\frac {v}{20}}+1\quad {\text{(general rule of thumb)}}}} (instead add 2 ...

  9. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    [1] [2] In places where trees or structures impede the near-surface wind, the use of a constant 1/7 exponent may yield quite erroneous estimates, and the log wind profile is preferred. Even under neutral stability conditions, an exponent of 0.11 is more appropriate over open water (e.g., for offshore wind farms), than 0.143, [ 3 ] which is more ...
