  2. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    Initially the second moment of area increases as the surface area increases, increasing BM, so Mφ moves to the opposite side, thus increasing the stability arm. When the deck is flooded, the stability arm rapidly decreases. The centre of buoyancy is at the centre of mass of the volume of water that the hull displaces.

  5. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

    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.

  7. Standard gravitational parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravitational...

    For several objects in the Solar System, the value of μ is known to greater accuracy than either G or M. The SI unit of the standard gravitational parameter is m 3 ⋅s −2. However, the unit km 3 ⋅s −2 is frequently used in the scientific literature and in spacecraft navigation.

  8. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

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

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.

    The value of is 6.67 × 10 −11 N m 2 kg −2, so is 4.191 × 10 −10 N m 2 kg −2 times the mass per unit area. Using 1 Gal = 0.01 m s −2 (1 cm s −2) we get 4.191 × 10 −5 mGal m 2 kg −1 times the mass per unit area. For mean rock density (2.67 g cm −3) this gives 0.1119 mGal m −1
