  2. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    In August 2018, a Chinese research group announced new measurements based on torsion balances, 6.674 184 (78) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 and 6.674 484 (78) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 based on two different methods. [47] These are claimed as the most accurate measurements ever made, with standard uncertainties cited as low as ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    However, the names of all SI mass units are based on gram, rather than on kilogram; thus 10 3 kg is a megagram (10 6 g), not a *kilokilogram. The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram (Mg), or 10 3 kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 10 3 kg and is often used with SI prefixes.

  4. Cancer slope factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    This estimate, usually expressed in units of proportion (of a population) affected per mg of substance/kg body weight-day, is generally reserved for use in the low-dose region of the dose-response relationship, that is, for exposures corresponding to risks less than 1 in 100. [1] Slope factors are also referred to as cancer potency factors (PF).

  5. Weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight

    The SI unit of weight is the same as that of force: the newton (N) – a derived unit which can also be expressed in SI base units as kg⋅m/s 2 (kilograms times metres per second squared). [ 21 ] In commercial and everyday use, the term "weight" is usually used to mean mass, and the verb "to weigh" means "to determine the mass of" or "to have ...

  6. Kilogram-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force

    The kilogram-force (kgf or kg F), or kilopond (kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force . It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) [ 1 ] and is deprecated for most uses.

  7. Equivalent (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_(chemistry)

    An equivalent (symbol: officially equiv; [1] unofficially but often Eq [2]) is the amount of a substance that reacts with (or is equivalent to) an arbitrary amount (typically one mole) of another substance in a given chemical reaction.

  8. Equivalent weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_weight

    It is necessary to calculate the mass of a solid acid which will react with about 20 cm 3 of this solution (for a titration using a 25 cm 3 burette): suitable solid acids include oxalic acid dihydrate, potassium hydrogen phthalate and potassium hydrogen iodate. The equivalent weights of the three acids 63.04 g, 204.23 g and 389.92 g ...

  9. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    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 Δν Cs. —
