  2. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    For instance the same angle of 0.1 mrad will subtend 10 mm at 100 meters, 20 mm at 200 meters, etc., or similarly 0.39 inches at 100 m, 0.78 inches at 200 m, etc. Subtensions in mrad based optics are particularly useful together with target sizes and shooting distances in metric units. The most common scope adjustment increment in mrad based ...

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    It is especially popular as a unit of measurement with shooters familiar with the imperial measurement system because 1 MOA subtends a circle with a diameter of 1.047 inches (which is often rounded to just 1 inch) at 100 yards (2.66 cm at 91 m or 2.908 cm at 100 m), a traditional distance on American target ranges.

  4. Hemocytometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemocytometer

    The gridded area of the Improved Neubauer ruled hemocytometer consists of nine 1 x 1 mm (1 mm 2) squares. These are subdivided in three directions; 0.25 x 0.25 mm (0.0625 mm 2), 0.25 x 0.20 mm (0.05 mm 2) and 0.20 x 0.20 mm (0.04 mm 2). The central square is further subdivided into 0.05 x 0.05 mm (0.0025 mm 2) squares. The raised edges of the ...

  5. Rotor solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_solidity

    Rotor solidity is a function of the aspect ratio and number of blades in the rotor and is widely used as a parameter for ensuring geometric similarity in rotorcraft experiments. It provides a measure of how close a lifting rotor system is to an ideal actuator disk in momentum theory .

    1 square millimetre (mm 2) 1–2 mm 2: Area of a human fovea [17] 2 mm 2: Area of the head of a pin: 10 −5 30–50 mm 2: Area of a 6–8 mm hole punched in a piece of paper by a hole punch [18] 10 −4: 1 square centimetre (cm 2) 290 mm 2: Area of one side of a U.S. penny [19] [20] 500 mm 2: Area of a typical postage stamp: 10 −3 1,100 mm 2 ...

  7. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    1 km 2 means one square kilometre, or the area of a square of 1000 m by 1000 m. In other words, an area of 1 000 000 square metres and not 1000 square metres. 2 Mm 3 means two cubic megametres, or the volume of two cubes of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m, i.e. 2 × 10 18 m 3, and not 2 000 000 cubic metres (2 × 10 6 m 3).

  8. Field-reversed configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-reversed_configuration

    The FRC was first observed in laboratories in the late 1950s during theta pinch experiments with a reversed background magnetic field. [3] The original idea was attributed to the Greek scientist and engineer Nicholas C. Christofilos who developed the concept of E-layers for the Astron fusion reactor.

  9. Chevrolet 90° V6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_90°_V6_engine

    The 4.3 L (262 cu in) V6 has a 4 in × 3.48 in (101.6 mm × 88.4 mm) bore and stroke, identical to the 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet V8 engine. To create a true even-fire engine, Chevrolet produced a crankshaft with 30-degree offsets between each rod pin. Consequently, rod journals were increased to a larger 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (57.2 mm).
