  2. ISO metric screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

    The thread depth is 0.54125 × pitch. The outermost 1 ⁄ 8 and the innermost 1 ⁄ 4 of the height H of the V-shape are cut off from the profile. The relationship between the height H and the pitch P is found using the following equation where θ is half the included angle of the thread, in this case 30°: [3]

    5.2 mheight of a giraffe [123] 5.5 mheight of a Baluchitherium, the largest land mammal ever lived; 6.5 m – wingspan of Argentavis, the largest flying bird known; 6.7 m – length of a Microchaetus rappi; 7.4 m – wingspan of Pelagornis, the bird with longest wingspan ever. [124] 7.5 m – approximate length of the human ...

  4. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The word Mach is always capitalized since it derives from a proper name, and since the Mach number is a dimensionless quantity rather than a unit of measure, the number comes after the word Mach. It was also known as Mach's number by Lockheed when reporting the effects of compressibility on the P-38 aircraft in 1942. [5]

  5. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

    Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 7 ⁄ 16 screw (7 ⁄ 16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.

  6. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The power law is often used in wind power assessments [4] [5] where wind speeds at the height of a turbine ( 50 metres) must be estimated from near surface wind observations (~10 metres), or where wind speed data at various heights must be adjusted to a standard height [6] prior to use.

  7. List of electronic component packaging types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic...

    For example, a metric 2520 component is 2.5 mm by 2.0 mm which corresponds roughly to 0.10 inches by 0.08 inches (hence, imperial size is 1008). Exceptions occur for imperial in the two smallest rectangular passive sizes.

  8. Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(hardware)

    However, polygons with more than six sides do not give the requisite grip and polygons with fewer than six sides take more time to be given a complete rotation. Other specialized shapes exist for certain needs, such as wingnuts for finger adjustment and captive nuts (e.g. cage nuts ) for inaccessible areas.

  9. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    As an approximation, the roughness length is approximately one-tenth of the height of the surface roughness elements. For example, short grass of height 0.01 meters has a roughness length of approximately 0.001 meters. Surfaces are rougher if they have more protrusions. Forests have much larger roughness lengths than tundra, for example.
