  2. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    For instance the same angle of 0.1 mrad will subtend 10 mm at 100 meters, 20 mm at 200 meters, etc., or similarly 0.39 inches at 100 m, 0.78 inches at 200 m, etc. Subtensions in mrad based optics are particularly useful together with target sizes and shooting distances in metric units. The most common scope adjustment increment in mrad based ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of_lengths

    Lengths between 10 −2 and 10 −1 m (1 and 10 cm). 1 cm — 10 millimetres; 1 cm — 0.39 inches; 1 cm — edge of square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm — edge of cube of volume 1 ml; 1 cm — approximate width of average fingernail; 1.5 cm — length of a very large mosquito; 2 cm — approximate width of an adult human finger; 2.54 cm — 1 inch

  4. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

    0.3048 m. 30.48 cm. 304.8 mm. The foot (standard symbol: ft) [1][2] is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The prime symbol, ′, is commonly used to represent the foot. [3] In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet.

  6. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    By definition, No. 36 AWG is 0.005 inches in diameter, and No. 0000 is 0.46 inches in diameter. The ratio of these diameters is 1:92, and there are 40 gauge sizes from No. 36 to No. 0000, or 39 steps. Because each successive gauge number increases cross sectional area by a constant multiple, diameters vary geometrically.

  7. Display size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_size

    Display size. On 2D displays, such as computer monitors and TVs, display size or viewable image size (VIS) refers to the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners, typically measured in inches.

    Metric (SI) units. 25.4 mm. A fire hydrant marked as 3-inch. The inch (symbol: in or ″) is a unit of length in the British Imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to ⁠ 1 36 ⁠ yard or ⁠ 1 12 ⁠ of a foot. Derived from the Roman uncia ("twelfth"), the word inch is also sometimes used to translate ...

  9. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar). [1][2] By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric pressure on Earth ...
