  2. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.

  3. Rings of Saturn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn

    The thickness of the A Ring is estimated to be 10 to 30 m, its surface density from 35 to 40 g/cm 2 and its total mass as 4 to 5 × 10 18 kg [96] (just under the mass of Hyperion). Its optical depth varies from 0.4 to 0.9. [96] Similarly to the B Ring, the A Ring's outer edge is maintained by orbital resonances, albeit in this case a more ...

    It also shows evidence of planning in the layout of rectangular houses, and streets or lanes, and planned streets. The area had risen to 50 hectares in with a population of 10,000 people. A 580-metre (1,900 ft) long protection wall dated 1500 BCE was found at Bet Dwarka which was believed to be damaged and submerged following a sea storm. [5] [6]

    Not every Heronian triple is a Pythagorean triple, however, as the example (4, 13, 15) with area 24 shows. If (a, b, c) is a Heronian triple, so is (ka, kb, kc) where k is any positive integer; its area will be the integer that is k 2 times the integer area of the (a, b, c) triangle.
