  2. Force gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_gauge

    An example of an electrical force gauge is an "electronic scale". One or more electrical load cells (commonly referred to as "weigh bars") are used to support a vertical or horizontal "live load" and are solid-state potentiometers which have variable internal resistance proportional to the load they are subjected to and deflected by. As the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_navigational_chart

    An Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) is a digital representation of a real-world geographical area for the purpose of Marine navigation.Real-world objects and areas of navigational significance, or to a lesser degree - informational significance, are portrayed through Raster facsimiles of traditional paper charts; or more commonly through vector images, which are able to scale their relative ...

  4. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Each sailing craft is a system that mobilizes wind force through its sails—supported by spars and rigging—which provide motive power and reactive force from the underbody of a sailboat—including the keel, centerboard, rudder or other underwater foils—or the running gear of an ice boat or land craft, which allows it to be kept on a course.

  5. Drawbar force gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawbar_Force_Gauge

    A drawbar force gauge is a gauge designed to measure forces on a machine tool's drawbar. These types of machines are found in metalworking, woodworking, stone cutting, and carbon fiber fabricating shops. Many modern machines generate well in excess of 50,000 N (12,000 lbf).

  6. Bollard pull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollard_pull

    Bollard pull is a conventional measure of the pulling (or towing) power of a watercraft.It is defined as the force (usually in tonnes-force or kilonewtons (kN)) exerted by a vessel under full power, on a shore-mounted bollard through a tow-line, commonly measured in a practical test (but sometimes simulated) under test conditions that include calm water, no tide, level trim, and sufficient ...

  7. Center of lateral resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_lateral_resistance

    The center of lateral resistance is the center of pressure of the hydrodynamic forces on the hull of a boat.The center of pressure is the point on a body where the total sum of a pressure field acts, causing a force and no moment about that point.
