  2. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    For a water-filled glass tube in air at standard conditions for temperature and pressure, γ = 0.0728 N/m at 20 °C, ρ = 1000 kg/m 3, and g = 9.81 m/s 2. Because water spreads on clean glass, the effective equilibrium contact angle is approximately zero. [4] For these values, the height of the water column is

  3. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    g is the gravitational acceleration—usually taken to be 9.81 m/s 2 (32 f/s 2) near the Earth's surface; θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile; If y 0 is taken to be zero, meaning that the object is being launched on flat ground, the range of the projectile will simplify to:

  4. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    To find the angle giving the maximum height for a given speed calculate the derivative of the maximum height = ⁡ / with respect to , that is = ⁡ ⁡ / which is zero when = / =. So the maximum height H m a x = v 2 2 g {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {max} }={v^{2} \over 2g}} is obtained when the projectile is fired straight up.

  5. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    The maximum righting moment is the maximum moment that could be applied to the vessel without causing it to capsize. The point of deck immersion is the angle at which the main deck will first encounter the sea. Similarly, the downflooding angle is the angle at which water will be able to flood deeper into the vessel.

    In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 90 m/s), [citation needed] which is almost the terminal velocity of the peregrine falcon diving down on its prey. [4] The same terminal velocity is reached for a typical .30-06 bullet dropping downwards—when it is returning to earth having been fired upwards, or ...

  7. Minimum railway curve radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_railway_curve_radius

    90-foot (27.43 m) radii on the elevated 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge Chicago 'L'. There is no room for longer radii at this cross junction in the northwest corner of the Loop. The minimum railway curve radius is the shortest allowable design radius for the centerline of railway tracks under a particular set of conditions.

  8. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

  9. Full width at half maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

    Full width at half maximum. In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value. In other words, it is the width of a spectrum curve measured between those points on the y-axis which are half the maximum ...
