   The slats of a mini blind. A mini blind is a type of horizontal window blind made of long, narrow slats held together by string. Its slats are less than half the width of a regular venetian blind, and are often made of aluminium, measuring 15 millimetres (0.59 in) or 25 millimetres (0.98 in).

4. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

   It measures the resonant frequencies in order to calculate the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio and internal friction of predefined shapes like rectangular bars, cylindrical rods and disc shaped samples. The measurements can be performed at room temperature or at elevated temperatures (up to 1700 °C) under different atmospheres.

5. Speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

   The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; [2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of ...

6. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

   Hanging the curtain rod higher or lower, or especially further away from the shower head, can reduce the effect. A convex shower rod can also be used to hold the curtain against the inside wall of a tub. A weight can be attached to a long string and the string attached to the curtain rod in the middle of the curtain (on the inside).

7. Length measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_measurement

   Length measurement, distance measurement, or range measurement (ranging) all refer to the many ways in which length, distance, or range can be measured.The most commonly used approaches are the rulers, followed by transit-time methods and the interferometer methods based upon the speed of light.

9. Foucault's measurements of the speed of light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault's_measurements_of...

   He used carefully calibrated tuning forks to monitor the rotation rate of the air-turbine-powered mirror R, and he would typically measure displacements of the slit image on the order of 115 mm. [7] His 1879 figure for the speed of light, 299944±51 km/s, was within about 0.05% of the modern value. His 1926 repeat of the experiment incorporated ...
