    The 13.7-g weight seems to be one of the units used in the Indus valley. The notation was based on the binary and decimal systems. 83% of the weights which were excavated from the above three cities were cubic, and 68% were made of chert .

  3. Obesity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity

    People are classified as obese when their body mass index (BMI)—a person's weight divided by the square of the person's height—is over 30 kg/m 2; the range 25–30 kg/m 2 is defined as overweight. [1] Some East Asian countries use lower values to calculate obesity. [11]

    The curling stone (also sometimes called a rock in North America) is made of granite and is specified by the World Curling Federation, which requires a weight between 19.96 and 17.24 kilograms (44 and 38 lb), a maximum circumference of 914 millimetres (36 in), and a minimum height of 114 millimetres (4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).

    With the TF30, the F-14's overall thrust-to-weight ratio at maximum takeoff weight is around 0.56, considerably less than the F-15A's ratio of 0.85; when fitted with the F110 engine, an improved thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.73 at maximum weight and 0.88 at normal takeoff weight was achieved.

    Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    Different models for the early universe vary widely in their predictions of the scale of these fluctuations. Various models predict the creation of primordial black holes ranging in size from a Planck mass (= / ≈ 1.2 × 10 19 GeV/c 2 ≈ 2.2 × 10 −8 kg) to hundreds of thousands of solar masses. [127]

  8. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

    The density of air at sea level and 15 °C is approximately 1.225 kg/m 3. [84] Most full-sized diving cylinders used for open circuit scuba hold more than 2 kilograms (4.4 lb) of air when full, and as the air is used, the buoyancy of the cylinder increases by the weight removed.
