  2. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater than 100 kilograms.

  3. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

  4. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  5. Bite force quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_force_quotient

    The BFQ is calculated as the regression of the quotient of an animal's bite force in newtons divided by its body mass in kilograms. [1] The BFQ was first applied by Wroe et al. (2005) in a paper comparing bite forces, body masses and prey size in a range of living and extinct mammalian carnivores, later expanded on by Christiansen & Wroe (2007 ...

  6. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    Table for Jet and rocket engines: jet thrust is at sea level; Fuel density used in calculations: 0.803 kg/l; For the metric table, the T/W ratio is calculated by dividing the thrust by the product of the full fuel aircraft weight and the acceleration of gravity. J-10's engine rating is of AL-31FN.

  7. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    If mass is used, specific impulse is an impulse per unit of mass, which dimensional analysis shows to be equivalent to units of speed; this interpretation is commonly labeled the effective exhaust velocity. If a force-based unit system is used, impulse is divided by propellant weight (weight is a measure of force), resulting in units of time.

  8. Reduced mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_mass

    Given two bodies, one with mass m 1 and the other with mass m 2, the equivalent one-body problem, with the position of one body with respect to the other as the unknown, is that of a single body of mass [1] [2] = = + = +, where the force on this mass is given by the force between the two bodies.
