In physics, a characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often, such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system, and it is usually required by the construction of a dimensionless quantity, in the general framework of dimensional analysis and in particular applications such as fluid mechanics.
Traditionally, in theoretical physics, the Planck scale is the highest energy scale and all dimensionful parameters are measured in terms of the Planck scale. There is a great hierarchy between the weak scale and the Planck scale, and explaining the ratio of strength of weak force and gravity / = is the focus of much of beyond-Standard-Model physics.
A simple application of dimensional analysis to mathematics is in computing the form of the volume of an n-ball (the solid ball in n dimensions), or the area of its surface, the n-sphere: being an n-dimensional figure, the volume scales as x n, while the surface area, being (n − 1)-dimensional, scales as x n−1.
In electric power, a bushing is a hollow electrical insulator that allows an electrical conductor to pass safely through a conducting barrier such as the case of a transformer or circuit breaker without making electrical contact with it. Bushings are typically made from porcelain, though other insulating materials are also used.
The atomic length scale is ℓ a ~ 10 −10 m and is given by the size of hydrogen atom (i.e., the Bohr radius, approximately 53 pm).; The length scale for the strong interactions (or the one derived from QCD through dimensional transmutation) is around ℓ s ~ 10 −15 m, and the "radii" of strongly interacting particles (such as the proton) are roughly comparable.
TIME-SERT insert. A threaded insert, also known as a threaded bushing, is a fastener element that is inserted into an object to add a threaded hole. [1] They may be used to repair a stripped threaded hole, provide a durable threaded hole in a soft material, place a thread on a material too thin to accept it, mold or cast threads into a work piece thereby eliminating a machining operation, or ...
Customary bushings are specified using the following specification layout: [3] ID-Type-OD-Length. Where the ID is specified as a decimal, drill letter size, drill number size, or fraction; the OD is an integer that relates to a multiple of a 1 ⁄ 64 th of an inch (0.40 mm); the length is an integer that relates to a multiple of a 1 ⁄ 16 th
