  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: g n), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force per kilogram of mass.

  3. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    In addition to Poynting, measurements were made by C. V. Boys (1895) [25] and Carl Braun (1897), [26] with compatible results suggesting G = 6.66(1) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2. The modern notation involving the constant G was introduced by Boys in 1894 [12] and becomes standard by the end of the 1890s, with values usually cited in the ...

  4. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Potential energy with respect to gravity, close to Earth, per unit mass: gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (standardized as ≈9.8 m/s 2) and h is the height above the reference level (giving J/kg when g is in m/s 2 and h is in m).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.5-inch_Mark_8_naval_gun

    A new type of 4.5 inch gun with a longer 55-calibre barrel, it was designed in the 1960s for the Royal Navy's new classes of frigates and destroyers.The weapon, built by Vickers Ltd Armament Division, was developed by the Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment using the Ordnance, QF 105 mm L13 of the Abbot self-propelled gun as a starting point (it used electrical primers).

    However, a sheet of common copy paper that has a basis weight of 20 pounds (9.1 kg) does not have the same mass as the same size sheet of coarse paper (newsprint). In the former case, the standard ream is 500 sheets of 17-by-22-inch (432 by 559 mm) paper, and in the latter, 500 sheets of 24-by-36-inch (610 by 914 mm) paper.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_mass

    An Earth mass (denoted as M 🜨, M ♁ or M E, where 🜨 and ♁ are the astronomical symbols for Earth), is a unit of mass equal to the mass of the planet Earth.The current best estimate for the mass of Earth is M 🜨 = 5.9722 × 10 24 kg, with a relative uncertainty of 10 −4. [2]

    The measurement of absorbed dose is a complex problem due to scattering and absorption, and many specialist dosimeters are available for these measurements, and can cover applications in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D. [4] [5] [6]
