  2. Weight transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_transfer

    Weight transfer is generally of far less practical importance than load transfer, for cars and SUVs at least. For instance in a 0.9g turn, a car with a track of 1650 mm and a CoM height of 550 mm will see a load transfer of 30% of the vehicle weight, that is the outer wheels will see 60% more load than before, and the inners 60% less.

  3. Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bridge_Gross...

    The Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula, also known as Bridge Formula B or the Federal Bridge Formula, is a mathematical formula in use in the United States by truck drivers and Department of Transportation (DOT) officials to determine the appropriate maximum gross weight for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) based on axle number and spacing ...

  4. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

    Full load displacement and loaded displacement have almost identical definitions. Full load is defined as the displacement of a vessel when floating at its greatest allowable draft as approved by the load line assigning authority which is either the flag state (USCG etc) or a classification society (and designated by its " load line ").

  5. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    Ideally, the voltage difference between S+ and S− is zero under zero load, and grows proportionally to the load cell's mechanical load. Sometimes a six-wire configuration is used. The two additional wires are "sense" (Sen+ and Sen−), and are connected to the bridge with the Ex+ and Ex- wires, in a fashion similar to four-terminal sensing .

  6. Counterweight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterweight

    A simple crane. A counterweight is a weight that, by applying an opposite force, provides balance and stability of a mechanical system. [1] The purpose of a counterweight is to make lifting the load faster and more efficient, which saves energy and causes less wear and tear on the lifting machine.

  7. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin wire of charge and length .To calculate the average linear charge density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total charge, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the wire as having a varying charge (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the wire, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of charge, , is equal to ...

  8. Dinitrogen tetroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_tetroxide

    The oxidation of copper by nitric acid is a complex reaction forming various nitrogen oxides of varying stability which depends on the concentration of the nitric acid, presence of oxygen, and other factors. The unstable species further react to form nitrogen dioxide which is then purified and condensed to form dinitrogen tetroxide.

  9. Offset binary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_binary

    Offset binary, [1] also referred to as excess-K, [1] excess-N, excess-e, [2] [3] excess code or biased representation, is a method for signed number representation where a signed number n is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the unsigned number n+K, K being the biasing value or offset.
