  2. Avoirdupois - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoirdupois

    Such scales are used to make the most accurate of fine measurements, such as in the needs of empirical chemistry. Avoirdupois (/ ˌ æ v ər d ə ˈ p ɔɪ z, ˌ æ v w ɑːr dj uː ˈ p w ɑː /; [1] abbreviated avdp.) [2] is a measurement system of weights that uses pounds and ounces as units. [3] [4] It was first commonly used in the 13th ...

    Pa = N/m 2 = kg/(m s) J = N m = kg m 2 /s 2; W = J/s = N m/s = kg m 2 /s 3; Furthermore, prior to the revision the SI base unit of electric current, the ampere (A), was defined as the current needed to produce a force of 0.2 μN between 2 parallel wires 1 m apart for every metre of length. Substituting these parameters into Ampère's force law ...

    Weight fluctuations of five pounds are more are uncommon among men. Experts explain common sudden weight gain causes, what to do, and when to see a doctor. 12 Common Causes of Sudden Weight Gain

  5. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The weight of the object in the fluid is reduced, because of the force acting on it, which is called upthrust. In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyant force (F b) on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume (V) times the gravity (g) [1] [3]

  6. Bresle method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresle_method

    IMO PSPC (performance standard for protective coatings) regulations set a maximum allowable concentration of soluble salts on a surface to be coated, measured as sodium chloride, of 50 mg•m2. The maximum amount of salt allowed on a surface prior to coating application is typically determined by the coating supplier and the user, such as a ...

    The weight part of power-to-weight really only started becoming a hot topic when online cycling platforms like Zwift started requiring it in order to calibrate your avatar’s speed on the platform.

  8. Fluctuation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluctuation_theorem

    Roughly, the fluctuation theorem relates to the probability distribution of the time-averaged irreversible entropy production, denoted ¯.The theorem states that, in systems away from equilibrium over a finite time t, the ratio between the probability that ¯ takes on a value A and the probability that it takes the opposite value, −A, will be exponential in At.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Seawater

    The tables below present an example of an artificial seawater (35.00‰ of salinity) preparation devised by Kester, Duedall, Connors and Pytkowicz (1967). [1] The recipe consists of two lists of mineral salts, the first of anhydrous salts that can be weighed out, the second of hydrous salts that should be added to the artificial seawater as a solution.
