  2. Binary angular measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_angular_measurement

    The number can also be interpreted as a fraction of a full turn between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) represented in binary fixed-point format with a scaling factor of 1/2 n. Multiplying that fraction by 360° or 2π gives the angle in degrees in the range 0 to 360, or in radians, in the range 0 to 2π, respectively.

  3. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors are equal to 1, we have directional scaling. In the case where v x = v y = v z = k, scaling increases the area of any surface by a factor of k 2 and the volume of any solid object by a factor of k 3.

  4. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    N L is the nominal length of the tape as specified by its mark; K L is a known length; Corr is the ratio of measured to actual length , determined by measuring a known length. In the U.S., some tapes come with United States Bureau of Standards certifications establishing the correction needed per 100' of tape.

  5. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    The foreshortening factor (1/2 in this example) is inversely proportional to the tangent of the angle (63.43° in this example) between the projection plane (colored brown) and the projection lines (dotted). Front view of the same. Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors)

  6. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.

    Then, at a speed of 13 400 000 m/s (30 million mph, 0.0447 c) contracted length is 99.9% of the length at rest; at a speed of 42 300 000 m/s (95 million mph, 0.141 c), the length is still 99%. As the magnitude of the velocity approaches the speed of light, the effect becomes prominent.

  8. Why do you shrink when you get older? Experts explain

    Your doctor will suspect osteoporosis if you have an overall height loss of 1.5 inches or more, or a height loss of 0.8 inches or more from your last measurement, Litt says.

  9. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    If S is an n × n shear matrix, then: S has rank n and therefore is invertible; 1 is the only eigenvalue of S, so det S = 1 and tr S = n; the eigenspace of S (associated with the eigenvalue 1) has n1 dimensions. S is defective; S is asymmetric; S may be made into a block matrix by at most 1 column interchange and 1 row interchange operation
