  2. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The correct branch of the multiple valued function arctan x to use is the one that makes ν a continuous function of E(M) starting from ν E=0 = 0. Thus for 0 ≤ E < π use arctan x = arctan x, and for π < E ≤ 2π use arctan x = arctan x + π. At the specific value E = π for which the argument of tan is infinite, use ν = E.

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A second of arc, arcsecond (abbreviated as arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [2] is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of a minute of arc, ⁠ 1 / 3600 ⁠ of a degree, [1] ⁠ 1 / 1 296 000 ⁠ of a turn, and ⁠ π / 648 000 ⁠ (about ⁠ 1 / 206 264.8 ⁠) of a radian.

  4. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    A milliradian (SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). ). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or

  5. Charm quark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charm_quark

    This second-generation particle is the third-most-massive quark, with a mass of 1.27 ± 0.02 GeV/c 2 as measured in 2022, and a charge of + ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ e. The existence of the charm quark was first predicted by James Bjorken and Sheldon Glashow in 1964, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and in 1970, Glashow, John Iliopoulos , and Luciano Maiani showed how ...

  6. NACA airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_airfoil

    L: a single digit representing the theoretical optimal lift coefficient at ideal angle of attack C LI = 0.15 L (this is not the same as the lift coefficient C L), P: a single digit for the x coordinate of the point of maximum camber (max. camber at x = 0.05 P), S: a single digit indicating whether the camber is simple (S = 0) or reflex (S = 1),

  7. Kurtosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis

    Setting a 2 = 2m − 3 makes the variance equal to unity. Then the only free parameter is m , which controls the fourth moment (and cumulant) and hence the kurtosis. One can reparameterize with m = 5 / 2 + 3 / γ 2 {\textstyle m=5/2+3/\gamma _{2}} , where γ 2 {\displaystyle \gamma _{2}} is the excess kurtosis as defined above.

  8. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  9. Quartz crystal microbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_crystal_microbalance

    Here Z F is the acoustic impedance of the film (Z F = ρ F c F = (ρ F G f) 1/2)= (ρ F /J f) 1/2), k F is the wave vector and d F is the film thickness. J f is the film's viscoelastic compliance, ρ F is the density. The poles of the tangent (k F d F = π/2) define the film resonances. [55] [56] At the film resonance, one has d F = λ/4. The ...
