  2. Phases of ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_ice

    The distance between oxygen atoms along each bond is about 275 pm and is the same between any two bonded oxygen atoms in the lattice. The angle between bonds in the crystal lattice is very close to the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°, which is also quite close to the angle between hydrogen atoms in the water molecule (in the gas phase), which is ...

  3. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    Any two opposite edges of a tetrahedron lie on two skew lines, and the distance between the edges is defined as the distance between the two skew lines. Let d {\displaystyle d} be the distance between the skew lines formed by opposite edges a {\displaystyle a} and b − c {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} -\mathbf {c} } as calculated here .

  4. Board foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_foot

    The board foot or board-foot is a unit of measurement for the volume of lumber in the United States and Canada. It equals the volume of a board that is one foot (30.5 cm) in length, one foot (30.5 cm) in width, and one inch (2.54 cm) in thickness, or exactly 2.359 737 216 liters .

  5. Tetrapod (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod_(structure)

    The French invention was named tétrapode, derived from Greek tetra-' four ' and -pode ' foot ', a reference to the tetrahedral shape. Tetrapods were first used at the thermal power station in Roches Noires in Casablanca, Morocco, to protect the sea water intake. [4] [5]

  6. Truncated tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_tetrahedron

    Given the edge length .The surface area of a truncated tetrahedron is the sum of 4 regular hexagons and 4 equilateral triangles' area, and its volume is: [2] =, =.. The dihedral angle of a truncated tetrahedron between triangle-to-hexagon is approximately 109.47°, and that between adjacent hexagonal faces is approximately 70.53°.

  7. Ice - Wikipedia

    Ice, water, and water vapour can coexist at the triple point, which is exactly 273.16 K (0.01 °C) at a pressure of 611.657 Pa. [16] [17] The kelvin was defined as ⁠ 1 / 273.16 ⁠ of the difference between this triple point and absolute zero, [18] though this definition changed in May 2019. [19] Unlike most other solids, ice is difficult to ...

  9. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    This means that although the difference between the liquid–solid and solid–air surface tension, γ ls − γ sa, is difficult to measure directly, it can be inferred from the liquid–air surface tension, γ la, and the equilibrium contact angle, θ, which is a function of the easily measurable advancing and receding contact angles (see ...
