    In radio astronomy, the unit of electromagnetic flux is the jansky (symbol Jy), equivalent to 10 −26 watts per square metre per hertz (= 10 −26 kg/s 2 in base units, about 8.8×10 −31 BTU/ft 2). It is named after the pioneering radio astronomer Karl Jansky. The brightest natural radio sources have flux densities of the order of one to one ...

    Using an interval of 30 mi (50 km), the length is about 2,100 mi (3,400 km). The coastline paradox states that a coastline does not have a well-defined length. Measurements of the length of a coastline behave like a fractal , being different at different scale intervals (distance between points on the coastline at which measurements are taken).

    Nominal horsepower = 7 × area of piston in square inches × equivalent piston speed in feet per minute/33,000. For paddle ships, the Admiralty rule was that the piston speed in feet per minute was taken as 129.7 × (stroke) 1/3.38. [28] [29] For screw steamers, the intended piston speed was used. [29]
