  2. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    [1] [2] [3] The f-number is also known as the focal ratio, f-ratio, or f-stop, and it is key in determining the depth of field, diffraction, and exposure of a photograph. [4] The f-number is dimensionless and is usually expressed using a lower-case hooked f with the format f / N, where N is the f-number.

    F 2. gravitational force by object on earth (upward) F 3. force by support on object (upward) F 4. force by object on support (downward) Forces F 1 and F 2 are equal, due to Newton's third law; the same is true for forces F 3 and F 4. Forces F 1 and F 3 are equal if and only if the object is in equilibrium, and no other forces are applied ...

  4. Triple bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bar

    The triple bar character in Unicode is code point U+2261 ≡ IDENTICAL TO (≡, ≡). [1] The closely related code point U+2262 ≢ NOT IDENTICAL TO (≢, ≢) is the same symbol with a slash through it, indicating the negation of its mathematical meaning.

  5. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    For example, an object on a level surface is pulled (attracted) downward toward the center of the Earth by the force of gravity. At the same time, a force is applied by the surface that resists the downward force with equal upward force (called a normal force). The situation produces zero net force and hence no acceleration. [3]

  6. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

    3. Restriction of a function: if f is a function, and S is a subset of its domain, then | is the function with S as a domain that equals f on S. 4. Conditional probability: () denotes the probability of X given that the event E occurs. Also denoted (/); see "/". 5.

  8. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    The farad (symbol: F) is the unit of electrical capacitance, the ability of a body to store an electrical charge, in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 1 coulomb per volt (C/V). [1] It is named after the English physicist Michael Faraday (1791–1867). In SI base units 1 F = 1 kg −1 ⋅m −2 ⋅s 4 ⋅A 2.

  9. Faraday constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_constant

    F = ⁠ N A / 1/e ⁠ = 9.648 533 212 331 001 84 × 10 4 C⋅mol −1. One common use of the Faraday constant is in electrolysis calculations. One can divide the amount of charge (the current integrated over time) by the Faraday constant in order to find the chemical amount of a substance (in moles) that has been electrolyzed.
