  2. Cup (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

    The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...

  3. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    The g-force acting on a stationary object resting on the Earth's surface is 1 g (upwards) and results from the resisting reaction of the Earth's surface bearing upwards equal to an acceleration of 1 g, and is equal and opposite to gravity. The number 1 is approximate, depending on location. The g-force acting on an object in any weightless ...

  5. Bra size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size

    Cup size is determined by one of two methods: in the US and UK, increasing cup size every inch method; and in all other systems by increasing cup size for every two centimeters. Since one inch equals 2.54 centimeters, there is considerable discrepancy between the systems, which becomes more exaggerated as cup sizes increase.

  6. Joule per mole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_per_mole

    Since 1 mole = 6.02214076 × 10 23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions etc.), 1 joule per mole is equal to 1 joule divided by 6.02214076 × 10 23 particles, ≈1.660539 × 10 −24 joule per particle. This very small amount of energy is often expressed in terms of an even larger unit such as the kJ·mol −1 , because of the typical order of ...

  7. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    The common 1" outside diameter circular video camera tubes have a rectangular photo sensitive area about 16 mm on the diagonal, so a digital sensor with a 16 mm diagonal size is a 1" video tube equivalent. The name of a 1" digital sensor should more accurately be read as "one inch video camera tube equivalent" sensor.
