  2. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A newton is defined as 1 kgm/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  3. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  4. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  5. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    For small angles, M can also be considered to be fixed, while B moves as the ship heels. The metacentric height ( GM ) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. [ 1 ] It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre .

  6. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    "The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J s , which is equal to kg m 2 s −1 , where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆ ν Cs ."

  7. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    The specific strength is bounded to be no greater than c 2 ≈ 9 × 10 13 kNm/kg, where c is the speed of light. This limit is achieved by electric and magnetic field lines, QCD flux tubes, and the fundamental strings hypothesized by string theory. [citation needed]
