  2. Hildebrand solubility parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildebrand_solubility...

    (However, PE only dissolves at temperatures well above 100 °C.) Poly(styrene) has a solubility parameter of 9.1 cal 1/2 cm3/2, and thus ethyl acetate is likely to be a good solvent. Nylon 6,6 has a solubility parameter of 13.7 cal 1/2 cm3/2, and ethanol is likely to be the best solvent of those tabulated. However, the latter is polar ...

  3. Rhind Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

    In particular concerning the large bottom trapezoid, Ahmes seems to get stuck on finding the upper base, and proposes in the original work to subtract "one tenth, equal to 1 + 1/4 + 1/8 setat plus 10 cubit strips" from a rectangle being (presumably) 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 (khet). However, even Ahmes' answer here is inconsistent with the problem's other ...

  4. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

    Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1] Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, is the observation that, for the vast majority of animals, an animal's metabolic rate scales to the 34 power of the animal's mass. [2] More recently, Kleiber's law has also been ...

  5. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    Multiply both sides by x to get . Subtract 1 from each side to get The right side can be factored, Dividing both sides by x − 1 yields Substituting x = 1 yields. This is essentially the same fallacious computation as the previous numerical version, but the division by zero was obfuscated because we wrote 0 as x − 1.

  6. Scale length (string instruments) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_length_(string...

    For example, a 7/8 violin has a scale of about 317 mm, a 3/4-size instrument a scale of 307 mm, a half-size one 287 mm, and a quarter-size one 267 mm. 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32 and even 1/64 violins also exist, becoming progressively smaller, but again in no proportional relationship.

  7. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯ - ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%2B_1/4_%2B_1/8_%2B_1/...

    1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯. First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation ...

  8. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 21, which represents 1/2, and 22, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠. In Unicode, precomposed fraction characters are in the Number Forms block.

  9. Board foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_foot

    The 2 × 4 is actually only 1 + 12 in × 3 + 12 in (38 mm × 89 mm), but the dimensions for the lumber when purchased wholesale could still be represented as full 2 × 4 lumber, although the "standard" can vary between vendors. This means that nominal lumber includes air space around the physical board when calculating board feet in ...
