  2. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [1] Solid angles can also be measured in square degrees (1 sr = (180/ π) 2 square degrees), in square arc-minutes and square arc-seconds, or in fractions of the sphere (1 sr = ⁠ 1 / 4 π ...

  3. Dynamic rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rectangle

    The hemidiagon (1:½ √ 5) longer side is half the one of the root-5 rectangle and is produced by projecting the diagonal of half a square until it is perpendicular with the origin. Besides the square and the double square, the only other static rectangle included in the list is the hemiolion , which is produced by projecting 90° or 180 ...

  4. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    (The Sun's diameter is 400 times as large and its distance also; the Sun is 200,000 to 500,000 times as bright as the full Moon (figures vary), corresponding to an angular diameter ratio of 450 to 700, so a celestial body with a diameter of 2.5–4″ and the same brightness per unit solid angle would have the same brightness as the full Moon.)

  5. Binary angular measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_angular_measurement

    The number can also be interpreted as a fraction of a full turn between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) represented in binary fixed-point format with a scaling factor of 1/2 n. Multiplying that fraction by 360° or 2π gives the angle in degrees in the range 0 to 360, or in radians, in the range 0 to 2π, respectively.

  6. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    1.2.1 Beam with fixed dimensions; goal is weight ... Thus performance of a beam in tension will depend on Young's modulus divided by ... (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2)

  7. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    Similarly, while one can evaluate monomials (x n) of dimensional quantities, one cannot evaluate polynomials of mixed degree with dimensionless coefficients on dimensional quantities: for x 2, the expression (3 m) 2 = 9 m 2 makes sense (as an area), while for x 2 + x, the expression (3 m) 2 + 3 m = 9 m 2 + 3 m does not make sense.

  8. Angular displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_displacement

    Figure 2: A rotation represented by an Euler axis and angle. In three dimensions, angular displacement is an entity with a direction and a magnitude. The direction specifies the axis of rotation, which always exists by virtue of the Euler's rotation theorem ; the magnitude specifies the rotation in radians about that axis (using the right-hand ...

  9. Golden angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_angle

    The golden angle is the angle subtended by the smaller (red) arc when two arcs that make up a circle are in the golden ratio. In geometry, the golden angle is the smaller of the two angles created by sectioning the circumference of a circle according to the golden ratio; that is, into two arcs such that the ratio of the length of the smaller arc to the length of the larger arc is the same as ...
