  2. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    Typical drinking water is in the range of 200–800 μS/cm, while sea water is about 50 mS/cm [3] (or 0.05 S/cm). Conductivity is traditionally determined by connecting the electrolyte in a Wheatstone bridge. Dilute solutions follow Kohlrausch's law of concentration dependence and additivity of ionic contributions.

    = 0.514 77 3 m/s mach number: M: Ratio of the speed to the speed of sound [note 1] in the medium (unitless). ≈ 340 m/s in air at sea level ≈ 295 m/s in air at jet altitudes metre per second (SI unit) m/s ≡ 1 m/s = 1 m/s mile per hour: mph ≡ 1 mi/h = 0.447 04 m/s: mile per minute: mpm ≡ 1 mi/min = 26.8224 m/s: mile per second: mps ≡ ...

  4. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    T 25 is 298.15 K (= 25 °C = 77 °F), giving a value of 346.1 m/s (= 1 135.6 ft/s = 1246 km/h = 774.3 mph = 672.8 kn). In fact, assuming an ideal gas , the speed of sound c depends on temperature and composition only, not on the pressure or density (since these change in lockstep for a given temperature and cancel out).

  5. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Last, multiply the original expression of the physical value by the fraction, called a conversion factor, to obtain the same physical value expressed in terms of a different unit. Note: since valid conversion factors are dimensionless and have a numerical value of one , multiplying any physical quantity by such a conversion factor (which is 1 ...

  6. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

    A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...

  7. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    Therefore the SI unit of mobility is (m/s)/(V/m) = m 2 /(V⋅s). However, mobility is much more commonly expressed in cm 2 /(V⋅s) = 10 −4 m 2 /(V⋅s). Mobility is usually a strong function of material impurities and temperature, and is determined empirically. Mobility values are typically presented in table or chart form.

    For example, 1 m/s = (1 m) / (1 s) is the coherent derived unit for velocity. [ 1 ] : 139 With the exception of the kilogram (for which the prefix kilo- is required for a coherent unit), when prefixes are used with the coherent SI units, the resulting units are no longer coherent, because the prefix introduces a numerical factor other than one.

  9. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    The system's characteristics are that density is expressed in g/cm 3, force expressed in dynes and mechanical energy in ergs. Thermal energy was defined in calories , one calorie being the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 15.5 °C to 16.5 °C.
