  2. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

    In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...

  3. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    Given real numbers x and y, integers m and n and the set of integers, floor and ceiling may be defined by the equations ⌊ ⌋ = {}, ⌈ ⌉ = {}. Since there is exactly one integer in a half-open interval of length one, for any real number x, there are unique integers m and n satisfying the equation

  4. Popcorn ceiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_ceiling

    Popcorn ceiling texture. A popcorn ceiling, also known as a stipple ceiling or acoustic ceiling, is a ceiling with one of a variety of spray-on or paint-on treatments. [1] The bumpy surface is created by tiny particles of vermiculite or polystyrene, which gives the ceiling sound-deadening properties. Mixtures are available in fine, medium, and ...

  5. Vault (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_(architecture)

    Gothic rib vault ceiling of the Saint-Séverin church in Paris Interior elevation view of a Gothic cathedral, with rib-vaulted roof highlighted. In architecture, a vault (French voûte, from Italian volta) is a self-supporting arched form, usually of stone or brick, serving to cover a space with a ceiling or roof.

  6. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    If the interior of a home is at 20 °C and the roof cavity is at 10 °C then the temperature difference is 10 °C (or 10 K). Assuming a ceiling insulated to RSI 2.0 (R = 2 m 2 ⋅K/W), energy will be lost at a rate of 10 K / (2 K⋅m 2 /W) = 5 watts for every square meter (W/m 2) of ceiling. The RSI-value used here is for the actual insulating ...

  7. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    As the definition of the unit contains π, it is easy to calculate area values in circular mils when the diameter in mils is known. The area in circular mils, A , of a circle with a diameter of d mils, is given by the formula: { A } c m i l = { d } m i l 2 . {\displaystyle \{A\}_{\mathrm {cmil} }=\{d\}_{\mathrm {mil} }^{2}.}

  8. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    A diagram illustrating great-circle distance (drawn in red) between two points on a sphere, P and Q. Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them. This arc is the shortest path ...

  9. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

    Installing absorptive insulation, for example fiberglass batts and blow-in cellulose, into the wall or ceiling cavities does increase the sound transmission class significantly. [14] The presence of insulation in single 2x4 wood stud framing spaced 16 inches (410 mm) on-center results in only a few STC points.
