  2. Balance point temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_point_temperature

    The building balance point temperature is the outdoor air temperature when the heat gains of the building are equal to the heat losses. [1] Internal heat sources due to electric lighting, mechanical equipment, body heat, and solar radiation may offset the need for additional heating although the outdoor temperature may be below the thermostat set-point temperature.

  3. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    For example, the Moon does not orbit the exact center of the Earth, but a point on a line between the center of the Earth and the Moon, approximately 1,710 km (1,062 miles) below the surface of the Earth, where their respective masses balance. This is the point about which the Earth and Moon orbit as they travel around the Sun.

  4. Center of population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_population

    The mean center, or centroid, is the point on which a rigid, weightless map would balance perfectly, if the population members are represented as points of equal mass. Mathematically, the centroid is the point to which the population has the smallest possible sum of squared distances. It is easily found by taking the arithmetic mean of each ...

    The move compromised the aircraft's balance to the point that control of the aircraft was lost. [6] In July 2013, a de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter departed Soldotna, Alaska, stalled after rotation and crashed 2,300 ft (700 m) away from its brake-release point as it was overloaded by 418 lb (190 kg) and its CG was well aft of the rear limit ...

    Center of balance (COB) is a point with respect to which the object in question is balanced with respect to applied forces. In particular areas the term may have specific meaning and special discussion, and may refer to one of the following definitions: Center of mass, the most common meaning and most of other meanings are derived from it

  7. Balance (ability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_(ability)

    A woman demonstrating the ability to balance A waiter balancing wine glasses. Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.

    This means you could owe $5,000 on your credit card on the 3rd of any given month, pay off your outstanding balance on the 10th of the month and show a $0 credit card balance by the time your ...

  9. Geostrophic wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostrophic_wind

    At this point, the flow is no longer moving from high to low pressure, but instead moves along isobars. Geostrophic balance helps to explain why, in the northern hemisphere, low-pressure systems (or cyclones ) spin counterclockwise and high-pressure systems (or anticyclones ) spin clockwise, and the opposite in the southern hemisphere.
