  2. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    The physical group size equivalent to m minutes of arc can be calculated as follows: group size = tan(⁠ m / 60 ⁠) × distance. In the example previously given, for 1 minute of arc, and substituting 3,600 inches for 100 yards, 3,600 tan(⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠) ≈ 1.047 inches. In metric units 1 MOA at 100 metres ≈ 2.908 centimetres.

    Small granite pillars have failed under loads that averaged out to about 1.43 ⋅ 10 8 Newtons/meter 2 and this kind of rock has a sonic speed of about 5.6 ± 0.3 ⋅ 10 3 m/sec (stp), a density of about 2.7 g/cm 3 and specific heat ranging from about 0.2 to 0.3 cal/g °C through the temperature interval 100-1000 °C [Stowe pages 41 & 59 and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-year

    A value of 9.460 536 207 × 10 15 m found in some modern sources [15] [16] is the product of a mean Gregorian year (365.2425 days or 31 556 952 s) and the defined speed of light (299 792 458 m/s). Another value, 9.460 528 405 × 10 15 m , [ 17 ] is the product of the J1900.0 mean tropical year and the defined speed of light.

  5. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

  6. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    By definition, 36 AWG is 0.005 inches in diameter, and 0000 AWG is 0.46 inches in diameter. The ratio of these diameters is 1:92, and there are 40 gauge sizes from 36 to 0000, or 39 steps. Because each successive gauge number increases cross sectional area by a constant multiple, diameters vary geometrically .

  7. Renard series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renard_series

    The R20 series is usually rounded to a multiple of 0.05, and the R40 and R80 values interpolate between the R20 values, rather than being powers of the 80th root of 10 rounded correctly. In the table below, the additional R80 values are written to the right of the R40 values in the column named "R80 add'l".

  8. Megalodon - Wikipedia

    In 2020, Cooper and his colleagues reconstructed a 2D model of megalodon based on the dimensions of all the extant lamnid sharks and suggested that a 16 meters (52 ft) long megalodon would have had a 4.65 m (15.3 ft) long head, 1.41 m (4 ft 8 in) tall gill slits, a 1.62 m (5 ft 4 in) tall dorsal fin, 3.08 m (10 ft 1 in) long pectoral fins, and ...
