  2. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.

  3. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    List of moments of inertia. Moment of inertia, denoted by I, measures the extent to which an object resists rotational acceleration about a particular axis, it is the rotational analogue to mass (which determines an object's resistance to linear acceleration ). The moments of inertia of a mass have units of dimension ML 2 ( [mass] × [length] 2 ).

  4. Torus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus

    A ring torus with aspect ratio 3, the ratio between the diameters of the larger (magenta) circle and the smaller (red) circle. In geometry, a torus ( pl.: tori or toruses) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space one full revolution about an axis that is coplanar with the circle.

  5. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The following is a list of second moments of area of some shapes. The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not ...

  6. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    The hydraulic diameter, DH, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as [ 1][ 2] where. P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section.

  7. Toroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroid

    A torus is a type of toroid. In mathematics, a toroid is a surface of revolution with a hole in the middle. The axis of revolution passes through the hole and so does not intersect the surface. [ 1] For example, when a rectangle is rotated around an axis parallel to one of its edges, then a hollow rectangle-section ring is produced.

  8. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    For example, consider the formulas for the area enclosed by a circle in two dimensions (=) and the volume enclosed by a sphere in three dimensions (=). One might guess that the volume enclosed by the sphere in four-dimensional space is a rational multiple of π r 4 {\displaystyle \pi r^{4}} , but the correct volume is π 2 2 r 4 {\displaystyle ...

  9. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    In terms of inclusions of balls, the k open unit balls centered at , …, are included in a ball of radius := + (), which is minimal for this configuration. To show that this configuration is optimal, let x 1 , … , x k {\displaystyle x_{1},\dots ,x_{k}} be the centers of k disjoint open unit balls contained in a ball of radius r centered at a ...
