  2. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    Other bullet manufacturers like Lapua and Nosler also published the G1 and G7 BCs for most of their target bullets. [63] [64] Many of these manufacturer and other independently verified G1 and G7 Ballistic Coefficients for most of the modern bullets gets published and updated regularly in freely published bullet database. [65]

  3. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    The G7 drag curve model prediction method (recommended by some manufacturers for very-low-drag shaped rifle bullets) when using a G7 ballistic coefficient (BC) of 0.377 yields very similar results in the supersonic flight regime compared to the Doppler radar test derived drag coefficients (C d) prediction method. At 1,500 m (1,640 yd) range the ...

  4. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The friction coefficient is an empirical (experimentally measured) structural property that depends only on various aspects of the contacting materials, such as surface roughness. The coefficient of friction is not a function of mass or volume. For instance, a large aluminum block has the same coefficient of friction as a small aluminum block.

  5. .277 Fury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.277_Fury

    Commercially, reduced-power .277 Fury Elite ball FMJ ammunition using non-hybrid conventional cartridge cases is offered, that fires a 135 grains (8.7 g) projectile with a G1 ballistic coefficient of ≈ .475 at a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second (838 m/s) from a 16-inch (406 mm) barrel. [3]

  6. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    For example, in classical mechanics the coefficient of friction is commonly used to measure the roughness of a surface as it relates to the force exerted on another contacted object. And, in fluid dynamics, hydraulic roughness is a measure of the resistance water experiences when flowing over land or through a channel.

  7. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    As can be estimated from weight loss and the density , the wear coefficient can also be expressed as: [2] K = 3 H W P L ρ {\displaystyle K={\frac {3HW}{PL\rho }}} As the standard method uses the total volume loss and the total sliding distance, there is a need to define the net steady-state wear coefficient:

  8. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    In this article, the following conventions and definitions are to be understood: The Reynolds number Re is taken to be Re = V D / ν, where V is the mean velocity of fluid flow, D is the pipe diameter, and where ν is the kinematic viscosity μ / ρ, with μ the fluid's Dynamic viscosity, and ρ the fluid's density.

  9. Tire load sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_load_sensitivity

    Coulomb friction theory says that the maximum horizontal force developed should be proportional to the vertical load on the tire. In practice, the maximum horizontal force Fy that can be generated is proportional, roughly, to the vertical load Fz raised to the power of somewhere between 0.7 and 0.9, typically.
