  2. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squarecube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the squarecube law.

  3. Tesseract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

    In geometry, a tesseract or 4-cube is a four-dimensional hypercube, analogous to a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. [1] Just as the perimeter of the square consists of four edges and the surface of the cube consists of six square faces , the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells , meeting at right ...

  4. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube. Furthermore, they are squares of squares. Some people refer to n 4 as n tesseracted, hypercubed, zenzizenzic, biquadrate or supercubed instead of “to the power of 4”. The sequence of fourth powers of integers, known as biquadrates or tesseractic numbers, is:

  5. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    Since all gases have the same volume per mole at a given temperature and pressure far from their points of liquefaction and solidification (see Perfect gas), and air is about ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ oxygen (molecular mass 32) and ⁠ 4 / 5 ⁠ nitrogen (molecular mass 28), the density of any near-perfect gas relative to air can be obtained to a good ...

  6. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    As this is a cube, the top and bottom surfaces are identical in shape and area, and the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the cube is directly proportional to the depth difference, and the resultant force difference is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid that would occupy the volume of the cube in its absence.

  7. Hypercube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube

    In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.

  8. Expander cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expander_cycle

    Because of the necessary phase change, the expander cycle is thrust limited by the squarecube law. When a bell-shaped nozzle is scaled, the nozzle surface area with which to heat the fuel increases as the square of the radius, but the volume of fuel to be heated increases as the cube of the radius.

  9. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    Hyperboloid of one sheet. Solid geometry or stereometry is the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D space). [1] A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior.
