  3. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    The capacitance of a capacitor is one farad when one coulomb of charge changes the potential between the plates by one volt. [1] [2] Equally, one farad can be described as the capacitance which stores a one-coulomb charge across a potential difference of one volt.

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

    The troy ounce is the only unit of the system in current use; it is used for precious metals. Although the troy ounce is larger than its avoirdupois equivalent, the pound is smaller. The obsolete troy pound was divided into 12 ounces, rather than the 16 ounces per pound of the avoirdupois system.

  7. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    Specific volume is inversely proportional to density. If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half. If the density drops to 1/10 its former value, the specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, increases by a factor of 10.

  8. Sectional density - Wikipedia

    SD g/mm 2 is the sectional density in grams per square millimeters; m g is the mass of the projectile in grams; d mm is the diameter of the projectile in millimeters; For example, a small arms bullet with a mass of 10.4 grams (160 gr) and having a diameter of 6.70 mm (0.264 in) has a sectional density of: 4 · 10.4 / (π·6.7 2) = 0.295 g/mm 2
