  2. 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.

  3. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    Length contraction is the phenomenon that a moving object's length is measured to be shorter than its proper length, which is the length as measured in the object's own rest frame. [1] It is also known as Lorentz contraction or Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction (after Hendrik Lorentz and George Francis FitzGerald ) and is usually only noticeable ...

  6. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    This equation means that the pressure at point is the pressure at the interface plus the pressure due to the weight of the liquid column of height . In this way, we can calculate the pressure at the convex interface p i n t = p w − ρ g h = p a t m − ρ g h . {\displaystyle p_{\rm {int}}=p_{\rm {w}}-\rho gh=p_{\rm {atm}}-\rho gh.}

  7. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    The data of this table is from best cases, and has been established for giving a rough figure. Note: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have the highest tensile strength of any material yet measured, with labs producing them at a tensile strength of 63 GPa, [ 36 ] still well below their theoretical limit of 300 GPa.

  8. Asperity (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperity_(materials_science)

    The top image shows asperities under no load. The bottom image depicts the same surface after applying a load. In materials science, asperity, defined as "unevenness of surface, roughness, ruggedness" (from the Latin asper—"rough" [1]), has implications (for example) in physics and seismology.

  9. Mixing length model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_length_model

    Here, the bar on the left side of the figure is the mixing length. In fluid dynamics, the mixing length model is a method attempting to describe momentum transfer by turbulence Reynolds stresses within a Newtonian fluid boundary layer by means of an eddy viscosity. The model was developed by Ludwig Prandtl in the early 20th century. [1]
