  2. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1. In unit systems where force is a primary unit, like in imperial and US customary measurement systems, g c may or may not equal 1 depending on the units used, and value other than 1 may be required to obtain correct results.

  3. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    A geometrized unit system [1] or geometrodynamic unit system is a system of natural units in which the base physical units are chosen so that the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the gravitational constant, G, are set equal to unity. = = The geometrized unit system is not a completely defined system.

  5. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The gravitational constant is a physical constant that is difficult to measure with high accuracy. [7] This is because the gravitational force is an extremely weak force as compared to other fundamental forces at the laboratory scale. [d] In SI units, the CODATA-recommended value of the gravitational constant is: [1]

  6. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    In particle physics and physical cosmology, Planck units are a system of units of measurement defined exclusively in terms of four universal physical constants: c, G, ħ, and k B (described further below). Expressing one of these physical constants in terms of Planck units yields a numerical value of 1.

    The units of the first two quantities are the ampere and the ampere per centimetre respectively. The unit of magnetic permeability is that of the emu system, and the magnetic constitutive equations are B = (4 π /10)μH and B = (4 π /10)μ 0 H + μ 0 M. Magnetic reluctance is given a hybrid unit to ensure the validity of Ohm's law for magnetic ...
