    Also Abrams' water-cement ratio law. A law which states that the strength of a concrete mix is inversely related to the mass ratio of water to cement. As the water content increases, the strength of the concrete decreases. abrasion The process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away a substance or substrate. It can be intentionally imposed in a controlled process using ...

    A new definition, in terms of the elementary charge, will take effect on 20 May 2019. [141] The new definition defines the elementary charge (the charge of the proton) as exactly 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 coulombs. This would implicitly define the coulomb as 1 ⁄ 0.160 217 6634 × 10 18 elementary charges. Coulomb's law

    The SI unit of molar attenuation coefficient is the square metre per mole (m 2 /mol), but in practice, quantities are usually expressed in terms of M −1 ⋅cm −1 or L⋅mol −1 ⋅cm −1 (the latter two units are both equal to 0.1 m 2 /mol).
