  2. Body surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_surface_area

    In the following formulae, BSA is expressed in m 2, weight (or, more properly, mass) W in kg, and height H in cm. The most widely used is the Du Bois formula, [4] [5] which has been shown to be equally as effective in estimating body fat in obese and non-obese patients, something the Body mass index fails to do. [6]

  3. Human body weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight

    The Devine formula for calculating ideal body weight in adults is as follows: [7] Male ideal body weight = 50 kilograms (110 lb) + 0.9 kilograms (2.0 lb) × (height (cm) − 152) Female ideal body weight = 45.5 kilograms (100 lb) + 0.9 kilograms (2.0 lb) × (height (cm) − 152)

  4. Body mass index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

    The BMI is expressed in kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. If pounds and inches are used, a conversion factor of 703 (kg/m 2)/(lb/in 2) is applied. (If pounds and feet are used, a conversion factor of 4.88 is used.) When the term BMI is used informally, the units are usually omitted.

  6. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    The body mass index is expressed in units of kilograms per square meter, though the area figure is nominal, being the square of the height. The total electron content in the ionosphere is a quantity of type columnar number density. Snow water equivalent is a quantity of type columnar mass density.

  7. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  8. Dimensional weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_weight

    5000 cm 3 /kg <=> 200 kg/m 3; 6000 cm 3 /kg <=> 166.667 kg/m 3; 7000 cm 3 /kg <=> 142.857 kg/m 3; When calculating the dimensional weight with metric measurements, the length, width, and height are measured in centimeters (cm) and the result is stated in a nominal kilogram (kg) dimensional weight band (usually rounded up). [4]

  9. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
