  2. Cuban prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_prime

    Proof without words that the difference of two consecutive cubes is a centered hexagonal number by arranging n 3 semitransparent balls in a cube and viewing along a space diagonal – colour denotes cube layer and line style denotes hex number

  3. Sum of two cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_cubes

    Visual proof of the formulas for the sum and difference of two cubes. In mathematics, the sum of two cubes is a cubed number added to another cubed number.

  4. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing circles in a square - closely related to spreading points in a unit square with the objective of finding the greatest minimal separation, d n, between points. To convert between these two formulations of the problem, the square side for unit circles will be L = 2 + 2 / d n {\displaystyle L=2+2/d_{n}} .

  5. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.

  6. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    As this is a cube, the top and bottom surfaces are identical in shape and area, and the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the cube is directly proportional to the depth difference, and the resultant force difference is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid that would occupy the volume of the cube in its absence.

  7. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2. The impossibility of doubling the ...

  8. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    An experimental method for locating the center of mass is to suspend the object from two locations and to drop plumb lines from the suspension points. The intersection of the two lines is the center of mass. [17] The shape of an object might already be mathematically determined, but it may be too complex to use a known formula.
