h = the distance is from base to the apex General triangular prism: b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the height of the prism's triangular base L = the length of the prism see above for general
The dimensionless added mass coefficient is the added mass divided by the displaced fluid mass – i.e. divided by the fluid density times the volume of the body. In general, the added mass is a second-order tensor , relating the fluid acceleration vector to the resulting force vector on the body.
The De Brouckere mean diameter is the mean of a particle size distribution weighted by the volume (also called volume-weighted mean diameter, volume moment mean diameter. [1] or volume-weighted mean size [2]). It is the mean diameter, which is directly obtained in particle size measurements, where the measured signal is proportional to the ...
ρ p is the mass density of the sphere [kg/m 3] ρ f is the mass density of the fluid [kg/m 3] g is the gravitational acceleration [m/s 2] Requiring the force balance F d = F e and solving for the velocity v gives the terminal velocity v s.
The above formula is for the xy plane passing through the center of mass, which coincides with the geometric center of the cylinder. If the xy plane is at the base of the cylinder, i.e. offset by d = h 2 , {\displaystyle d={\frac {h}{2}},} then by the parallel axis theorem the following formula applies:
A body's moment of inertia about a particular axis depends both on the mass and its distribution relative to the axis, increasing with mass & distance from the axis. It is an extensive (additive) property: for a point mass the moment of inertia is simply the mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. The moment ...
A star prism is a nonconvex polyhedron constructed by two identical star polygon faces on the top and bottom, being parallel and offset by a distance and connected by rectangular faces. A uniform star prism will have Schläfli symbol {p/q} × { }, with p rectangles and 2 {p/q} faces. It is topologically identical to a p-gonal prism.
A small mass has an extremely small Schwarzschild radius. A black hole of mass similar to that of Mount Everest [19] [note 2] would have a Schwarzschild radius much smaller than a nanometre. [note 3] Its average density at that size would be so high that no known mechanism could form such extremely compact objects.
