  2. Iron (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_(golf)

    Most club manufacturers offer customized lie angles between 2° flat and 2° upright. If an iron lie is too upright it can cause a shot to miss to the left for a right handed golfer (or right for a left handed golfer) and if the lie angle is too flat, it can cause a shot to miss to the right for a right handed golfer (or left for a left handed ...

  3. Tilt table test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_table_test

    A tilt table test can be done in different ways and be modified for individual circumstances. In some cases, the patient will be strapped to a tilt table lying flat and then tilted or suspended completely or almost completely upright (as if standing). Most of the time, the patient is suspended at an angle of 60 to 80 degrees.

  4. Linear-on-the-fly testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-on-the-fly_testing

    Many of the test items would become well known in the population of examinees. To offset this, more forms would be needed; if there were eight forms, not as many examinees would see each item. LOFT takes this to an extreme, and attempts to construct a unique exam for each candidate, within the given constraints of the testing program.

  5. Lifting-line theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting-line_theory

    Lifting line theory supposes wings that are long and thin with negligible fuselage, akin to a thin bar (the eponymous "lifting line") of span 2s driven through the fluid. . From the Kutta–Joukowski theorem, the lift L(y) on a 2-dimensional segment of the wing at distance y from the fuselage is proportional to the circulation Γ(y) about the bar a

  6. Lofting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofting

    Two men cutting templates in the mold loft, Tyneside Shipyards, 1943 As ship design evolved from craft to science, designers learned various ways to produce long curves on a flat surface. Generating and drawing such curves became a part of ship lofting; "lofting" means drawing full-sized patterns, so-called because it was often done in large ...

  7. Flat (theatre) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_(theatre)

    Corner blocks are used to join the corners of a soft-cover flat. They are normally made of 1 ⁄ 4-inch (6.4 mm) plywood, and are triangles with corners of 45°, 45°, and 90°. They are most often made by ripping the plywood at 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (170 mm) and then mitering it at 45 degree angles to create triangles with 9-inch (230 mm) legs.

  8. Coplanarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coplanarity

    Their cross product is a normal vector to that plane, and any vector orthogonal to this cross product through the initial point will lie in the plane. [1] This leads to the following coplanarity test using a scalar triple product: Four distinct points, x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4, are coplanar if and only if,

  9. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    Symmetric airfoils necessarily have plots of c l versus angle of attack symmetric about the c l axis, but for any airfoil with positive camber, i.e. asymmetrical, convex from above, there is still a small but positive lift coefficient with angles of attack less than zero. That is, the angle at which c l = 0 is negative. On such airfoils at zero ...
