  2. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines. This is because of their ability to operate at very high speeds.

    For example, Concorde cruised at 1354 mph, or 7.15 million feet per hour, with its engines giving an SFC of 1.195 lb/(lbf·h) (see below); this means the engines transferred 5.98 million foot pounds per pound of fuel (17.9 MJ/kg), equivalent to an SFC of 0.50 lb/(lbf·h) for a subsonic aircraft flying at 570 mph, which would be better than even ...

    This was an official unit of measurement in South Africa until the 1970s, and was defined in November 2007 by the South African Law Society as having a conversion factor of 1 morgen = 0.856 532 hectares. [27] This unit of measure was also used in the Dutch colonial province of New Netherland (later New York and parts of New England). [28] [29]

    The tonne (/ t ʌ n / ⓘ or / t ɒ n /; symbol: t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.It is also referred to as a metric ton in the United States to distinguish it from the non-metric units of the short ton (United States customary units) and the long ton (British imperial units).

    In the following formulae, BSA is expressed in m 2, weight (or, more properly, mass) W in kg, and height H in cm. The most widely used is the Du Bois formula, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] which has been shown to be equally as effective in estimating body fat in obese and non-obese patients, something the Body mass index fails to do.
