For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4 , or 20 / 5 = 4 . [ 2 ] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient.
3 mrad, which equals 3 m at 1000 m (or 0.3 m at 100 m) 6 mrad, which equals 6 m at 1000 m (or 0.6 m at 100 m) 9 mrad, which equals 9 m at 1000 m (or 0.9 m at 100 m) With a tilted mount the maximum usable scope elevation can be found by:
The bar is defined using the SI derived unit, pascal: 1 bar ≡ 100,000 Pa ≡ 100,000 N/m 2. Thus, 1 bar is equal to: 1,000,000 Ba (in cgs units); and 1 bar is approximately equal to: 0.98692327 atm; 14.503774 psi; 29.529983 inHg; 750.06158 mmHg; 750.06168 Torr
[a] The parsec unit is obtained by the use of parallax and trigonometry, and is defined as the distance at which 1 AU subtends an angle of one arcsecond [1] ( 1 / 3600 of a degree). The nearest star, Proxima Centauri , is about 1.3 parsecs (4.2 light-years) from the Sun : from that distance, the gap between the Earth and the Sun spans ...
In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).
These values can be calculated evaluating the quantile function (also known as "inverse CDF" or "ICDF") of the chi-squared distribution; [24] e. g., the χ 2 ICDF for p = 0.05 and df = 7 yields 2.1673 ≈ 2.17 as in the table above, noticing that 1 – p is the p-value from the table.
It equals 6°, so a whole turn was divided into 60 hexacontades. pechus: 144 to 180: 2° to 2°30′ The pechus was a Babylonian unit equal to about 2° or 2 + 1 / 2 °. diameter part: ≈376.991: ≈0.95493° The diameter part (occasionally used in Islamic mathematics) is 1 / 60 radian. One "diameter part" is approximately 0. ...
The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) or one thousand million (long scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.
