  2. Time signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

    A time signature (also known as meter signature, [ 1 ]metre signature, [ 2 ] and measure signature) [ 3 ] is an indication in music notation that specifies how many note values of a particular type are contained in each measure (bar). The time signature indicates the meter of a musical movement at the bar level.

  3. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    Dimension symbol; second: s time "The second, symbol s, is the SI unit of time. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, ∆ν Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1."

    The seven SI base units. The SI comprises a coherent system of units of measurement starting with seven base units, which are the second (symbol s, the unit of time), metre (m, length), kilogram (kg, mass), ampere (A, electric current), kelvin (K, thermodynamic temperature), mole (mol, amount of substance), and candela (cd, luminous intensity).

  5. Basic dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_dimension

    In a technical drawing, a basic dimension is a theoretically exact dimension, given from a datum to a feature of interest. In Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, basic dimensions are defined as a numerical value used to describe the theoretically exact size, profile, orientation or location of a feature or datum target. [1] Allowable ...

  6. Base unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_unit_of_measurement

    In the International System of Units (SI), there are seven base units: kilogram, metre, candela, second, ampere, kelvin, and mole. Several derived units have been defined, many with special names and symbols. In 2019 the seven SI base units were redefined in terms of seven defining constants. Therefore the SI base units are no longer necessary ...

  7. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit. [12]

    Dimension symbol; metre: m length "The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1 / 299 792 458 of a second." 17th CGPM (1983, Resolution 1, CR, 97) 1 / 10 000 000 of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole measured on the circumference through Paris. L kilogram: kg mass

  9. Metric signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_signature

    The signature of a metric tensor is defined as the signature of the corresponding quadratic form. [2] It is the number (v, p, r) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of any matrix (i.e. in any basis for the underlying vector space) representing the form, counted with their algebraic multiplicities. Usually, r = 0 is required, which is the ...
