  2. Human height - Wikipedia

    Height measurement using a stadiometer. Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect.It is measured using a stadiometer, [1] in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, [2] [3] or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system.

  3. Vertical pressure variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_pressure_variation

    Since g is negative, an increase in height will correspond to a decrease in pressure, which fits with the previously mentioned reasoning about the weight of a column of fluid. When density and gravity are approximately constant (that is, for relatively small changes in height), simply multiplying height difference, gravity, and density will ...

    The result depends on the cause, but is typically an increase in final height of about 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in) taller than predicted. [4] Thus, treatment takes a child who is expected to be much shorter than a typical adult and produces an adult who is still obviously shorter than average.

  5. Wind gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_gradient

    It is the rate of increase of wind strength with unit increase in height above ground level. [5] [6] In metric units, it is often measured in units of meters per second of speed, per kilometer of height (m/s/km), which reduces inverse milliseconds (ms −1), a unit also used for shear rate.

  6. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    In atmospheric, earth, and planetary sciences, a scale height, usually denoted by the capital letter H, is a distance (vertical or radial) over which a physical quantity decreases by a factor of e (the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718).

  7. Height discrimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination

    They also found that men's wages as adults could be linked to their height at age 16. The researchers found that on an average an increase in height by one inch at age 16 increased male adult wages by 2.6 percent. This is equal to an increase of approximately $850 in 1996 annual earnings (or $1,700 today). [11]
