  2. Gravitational metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_metric_system

    To avoid this, the kilopond was first defined at sea level and a latitude of 45 degrees, since 1902 via the standard gravity of 9.806 65 m/s 2. [ 2 ] Further disadvantages are inconsistencies in the definition of derived units such as horsepower (1 PS = 75 kp⋅m/s) and the missing link to electric, magnetic or thermodynamic units.

  3. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by ɡ 0 or ɡ n, is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth. It is a constant defined by standard as 9.806 65 m/s 2 (about 32.174 05 ft/s 2).

  5. Gal (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    In SI base units, 1 Gal is equal to 0.01 m/s 2. The acceleration due to Earth's gravity at its surface is 976 to 983 Gal, the variation being due mainly to differences in latitude and elevation . Standard gravity is 980.665 Gal. Mountains and masses of lesser density within the Earth's crust typically cause variations in gravitational ...

  7. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.378_Weatherby_Magnum

    The .378 Weatherby Magnum was designed by Roy Weatherby in 1953. [3] [4] Although inspired by the .416 Rigby, it is an original belted magnum design with no parent case. [5]The cartridge features a high powder capacity relative to its bore size, and can hold upwards of 7.13 g (120 gr) of powder.

  9. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    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 ...
