  2. 5.5 Metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.5_Metre

    The 5.5-metre class was a redesign of the 6-metre class by Charles E. Nicholson in 1937. The first boats conforming to the 5.5-metre rule were built in 1949. There had been an earlier attempt to build a cheaper alternative to the Sixes. In 1929 the 5-metre class was established by the French "Union de Societes Nautique Francaise" and the class ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

    5.5 mm scale. 5.5 mm to 1 foot scale (1:55.4 or 1:55) is used for modelling narrow gauge railways. 12 mm (0.472 in) gauge track is used to represent 2 ft (610 mm) to 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) gauge prototypes. 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track is used to represent 3 ft (914 mm) gauge prototypes. Very narrow industrial or rural lines can be represented by ...

  5. Dakotaraptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakotaraptor

    Dakotaraptor is exceptionally large for a dromaeosaurid, with an estimated adult length of 5.5 m (18 ft). [1] In 2016, other estimations suggested a length of 4.35-6 m (14.3-19.7 ft) and a weight of 220-350 kg (485-772 lbs). [10] [11] This approaches the size of one of the largest known dromaeosaurids, Utahraptor. [12]

    The wave conditions are: mean water depth d = 2.50 ft (0.76 m), wave height H = 0.339 ft (0.103 m), wavelength λ = 6.42 ft (1.96 m), period T = 1.12 s. [ 28 ] In linear plane waves of one wavelength in deep water, parcels near the surface move not plainly up and down but in circular orbits: forward above and backward below (compared to the ...
