    line of force linear elasticity The mathematical study of how solid objects deform and become internally stressed due to prescribed loading conditions. Linear elasticity is a simplification of the more general nonlinear theory of elasticity and is a branch of continuum mechanics. Liouville's theorem Phase space volume is conserved. liquid

    kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m 3) diameter: meter (m) distance: meter (m) direction: unitless impact parameter meter (m) differential (e.g. ) varied depending on context differential vector element of surface area A, with infinitesimally small magnitude and direction normal to surface S

  4. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    A typical linear Diophantine equation seeks integers x and y such that [68] ax + by = c. where a, b and c are given integers. This can be written as an equation for x in modular arithmetic: ax ≡ c mod b. Let g be the greatest common divisor of a and b. Both terms in ax + by are divisible by g; therefore, c must also be divisible by g, or the ...

    The greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers a and b, at least one of which is nonzero, is the greatest positive integer d such that d is a divisor of both a and b; that is, there are integers e and f such that a = de and b = df, and d is the largest such integer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCD_domain

    [3] If R is a non-atomic GCD domain, then R [ X ] is an example of a GCD domain that is neither a unique factorization domain (since it is non-atomic) nor a Bézout domain (since X and a non-invertible and non-zero element a of R generate an ideal not containing 1, but 1 is nevertheless a GCD of X and a ); more generally any ring R [ X 1 ...

    Integrating the definitions gives the total charge Q of a region according to line integral of the linear charge density λ q (r) over a line or 1d curve C, = similarly a surface integral of the surface charge density σ q (r) over a surface S, = and a volume integral of the volume charge density ρ q (r) over a volume V, = where the subscript ...

  9. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    The reason for the minus sign is that the actual force (i.e., measured weight) on an object produced by a g-force is in the opposite direction to the sign of the g-force, since in physics, weight is not the force that produces the acceleration, but rather the equal-and-opposite reaction force to it.
