  2. Sail area-displacement ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_Area-Displacement_ratio

    The sail area-displacement ratio (SA/D) is a calculation used to express how much sail a boat carries relative to its weight. [1]/ = [() /] = () In the first equation, the denominator in pounds is divided by 64 to convert it to cubic feet (because 1 cubic foot of salt water weights 64 pounds).

  3. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  4. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    Hull speed can be calculated by the following formula: where is the length of the waterline in feet, and is the hull speed of the vessel in knots. If the length of waterline is given in metres and desired hull speed in knots, the coefficient is 2.43 kn·m −½.

  5. Motion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_ratio

    The force in the spring is (roughly) the vertical force at the contact patch divided by the motion ratio, and the spring rate is the wheel rate divided by the motion ratio squared. I R = S p r i n g D i s p l a c e m e n t W h e e l D i s p l a c e m e n t . {\displaystyle IR={\frac {SpringDisplacement}{WheelDisplacement}}.}

  6. Equivalent weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_weight

    For example, 50 g of zinc will react with oxygen to produce 62.24 g of zinc oxide, implying that the zinc has reacted with 12.24 g of oxygen (from the Law of conservation of mass): the equivalent weight of zinc is the mass which will react with eight grams of oxygen, hence 50 g × 8 g/12.24 g = 32.7 g.

  7. Displacement–length ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement–length_ratio

    The displacement–length ratio (DLR or D/L ratio) is a calculation used to express how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. [1] DLR was first published in Taylor, David W. (1910). The Speed and Power of Ships: A Manual of Marine Propulsion. John Wiley & Sons. p. 99. [2]

  8. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    where is the flexural modulus (in Pa), is the second moment of area (in m 4), is the transverse displacement of the beam at x, and () is the bending moment at x. The flexural rigidity (stiffness) of the beam is therefore related to both E {\displaystyle E} , a material property, and I {\displaystyle I} , the physical geometry of the beam.

  9. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    In most single-tablet, over-the-counter, daily vitamin and mineral supplements, zinc is included in such forms as zinc oxide, zinc acetate, zinc gluconate, or zinc amino acid chelate. [ 170 ] [ 171 ] Generally, zinc supplement is recommended where there is high risk of zinc deficiency (such as low and middle income countries) as a preventive ...
