    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of...

    It is equivalent to 1 inch × 1 foot × 1 foot (144 cu in or 2,360 cm 3). It is also found in the unit of density pounds per board foot. In Australia and New Zealand the terms super foot or superficial foot were formerly used for this unit. The exact volume of wood specified is variable and depends on the type of lumber.

  3. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    In contrast the volume of the Sag Branch Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera), height 167.7 feet, dbh 7.08 feet, crown spread 101 feet) had a trunk volume of 2430 ft 3 (68.6 m 3) and a branch volume of 1560 ft 3 (44.17 m 3). [15] The volume of the branches on the tuliptree was only 64.2% that of the trunk. [15]

  4. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

    The average girth, height, and crown spread values were calculated for the measurements included in the listing. For the dataset the average height was 87.6 feet, the average girth was 100.1 inches, and the average spread was 54.9 feet. It is not critical that these values be exact for analysis purposes.

  5. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

    In this case a better option would be to measure the standard girth measurement at 4.5 feet above ground level on the high side of the tree and note this in the measurement description [13] [17] The height of this measurement point above the standard base point at midslope should also be noted. If measuring a mountaintop forest of stunted trees ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics , the abscissa ( / æ b ˈ s ɪ s . ə / ; plural abscissae or abscissas ) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system : [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

    The study included data from 1993 through 2010, and showed that the pumping of as much as 2,150 gigatons of groundwater has caused a change in the Earth’s tilt of roughly 31.5 inches. The ...

  9. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...
