  2. Barometer question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer_question

    Use Newton's law of gravitation to calculate the radial altitude of both the ground and the roof. The difference will be the height of the building. Tying a piece of string to the barometer, which is as long as the height of the building, and swinging it like a pendulum, and from the swing period, calculate the pendulum length.

  3. Slenderness ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slenderness_ratio

    In architecture, the slenderness ratio, or simply slenderness, is an aspect ratio, the quotient between the height and the width of a building. In structural engineering , slenderness is used to calculate the propensity of a column to buckle .

  4. Hypsometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypsometer

    Calculation from this value will eventually give the height h, from the eye-line of the observer to the top of the object whose height is to be determined. Similarly as in step 2 of the illustration, a sighting is taken on the base of the object whose height is to be determined, and the reading on the horizontal scale, d', recorded.

  5. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Building codes determine the maximum deflection, usually as a fraction of the span e.g. 1/400 or 1/600. Either the strength limit state (allowable stress) or the serviceability limit state (deflection considerations among others) may govern the minimum dimensions of the member required.

  6. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus = = . For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size.

  8. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    This provides a method to calculate the roughness length by measuring the friction velocity and the mean wind velocity (at known elevation) in a given, relatively flat location (under neutral conditions) using an anemometer. [4] Of note is that, in this simplified form, the log wind profile is identical in form to the dimensional law of the wall.

    Typically, other TikTok users create a clip challenging him to guess their height. Often, @kentai.haven challenges himself by picking something minute or inconsequential — like an apple — as ...
