  2. Steelyard balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelyard_balance

    The steelyard comprises a balance beam which is suspended from a lever/pivot or fulcrum which is very close to one end of the beam. The two parts of the beam which flank the pivot are the arms. The arm from which the object to be weighed (the load) is hung is short and is located close to the pivot point.

  3. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    The traditional scale consists of two plates or bowls suspended at equal distances from a fulcrum. One plate holds an object of unknown mass (or weight ), while objects of known mass or weight, called weights , are added to the other plate until mechanical equilibrium is achieved and the plates level off, which happens when the masses on the ...

  4. Rolled homogeneous armour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolled_homogeneous_armour

    MIL-DTL-46100E specifies a steel of identical hardness. [3] MIL-DTL-32332 specifies ultra-hard steel, with Brinell hardness in excess of 570. [3] A Chinese publication lists 30MnCrNiMo "685" steel as the material used in Chinese rolled armor plates, with a Brinell Hardness of HBW 444-514 (thin) / 429-495 (thick).

  5. Baker percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

    The baker has determined how much a recipe's ingredients weigh, and uses uniform decimal weight units. All ingredient weights are divided by the flour weight to obtain a ratio, then the ratio is multiplied by 100% to yield the baker's percentage for that ingredient:

  6. International Prototype of the Kilogram - Wikipedia

    Gy = J/kg = ⁠ kg m 2 /s 2 / kg ⁠ = m 2 /s 2; S = 1/Ω = ⁠ 10 −7 s / k A m ⁠ H = Ω s = 10 7 k A m; Because the magnitude of many of the units composing the SI system of measurement was until 2019 defined by its mass, the quality of the IPK was diligently protected to preserve the integrity of the SI system.

  7. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells. In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments.

  8. Weight plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_plate

    [8] [19] Tom Lincir, founder of the Ivanko Barbell Company, has encountered 45-pound (20.4 kg) plates weighing as little as 38 pounds (17.2 kg), or as much as 59 pounds (26.8 kg). [ 20 ] Plates can be weighed, and the equipment marked (using a paint pen or other permanent marker ) with the true weight.

  9. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.
