  2. English Engineering Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Engineering_Units

    Units for other physical quantities are derived from this set as needed. In English Engineering Units, the pound-mass and the pound-force are distinct base units, and Newton's Second Law of Motion takes the form = where is the acceleration in ft/s 2 and g c = 32.174 lb·ft/(lbf·s 2).

  3. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)

    This is convenient because one pound mass exerts one pound force due to gravity. Note, however, unlike the other systems the force unit is not equal to the mass unit multiplied by the acceleration unit [11] —the use of Newton's second law, F = m ⋅ a, requires another factor, g c, usually taken to be 32.174049 (lb⋅ft)/(lbf⋅s 2).

  4. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    The SI system after 1983, but before the 2019 revision: Dependence of base unit definitions on other base units (for example, the metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a second), with the constants of nature and artefacts used to define them (such as the mass of the IPK for the kilogram).

  5. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Most basic use of an impedance Smith chart. A wave travels down a transmission line of characteristic impedance Z 0, terminated at a load with impedance Z L and normalised impedance z=Z L /Z 0. There is a signal reflection with coefficient Γ.

  6. Unit load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load

    Reach truck handling stretch wrapped unit load Air cargo container of the AKH type on a trailer. The term unit load refers to the size of an assemblage into which a number of individual items are combined for ease of storage and handling, [1] for example a pallet load represents a unit load which can be moved easily with a pallet jack or forklift truck, or a container load represents a unit ...

  7. List of metric units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    The fermi is a unit of distance used in nuclear physics equal to 1 fm. [9] The angstrom (symbol Å) is a unit of distance used in chemistry and atomic physics equal to 100 pm. The micron (μ) is a unit of distance equal to one micrometre (1 μm). The basic module (M) is a unit of distance equal to one hundred millimetres (100 mm).

  8. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Expressed in terms of SI base units, it is 1 kg⋅m/s 2, the force that accelerates a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared. The unit is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of ...

  9. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    A line drawing showing some basic concepts of speeds and feeds in the context of lathe work. The angular velocity of the workpiece (rev/min) is called the " spindle speed " by machinists. Its tangential linear equivalent at the workpiece surface (m/min or sfm ) is called the " cutting speed ", " surface speed ", or simply the " speed " by ...
