  2. Overhang (vehicles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_(vehicles)

    Journalist Paul Niedermeyer has proposed an overhang ratio (OHR) to characterize the combined size of the front and rear overhangs, normalized to vehicle length, computed as = (). [3] Because most vehicles are styled so the wheelbase is typically equal to four wheel+tyre diameters, [ 2 ] the minimum OHR (with no bodywork projecting beyond the ...

  4. Eaves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eaves

    Eaves must be designed for local wind speeds as the overhang can significantly increase the wind loading on the roof. [7] The line on the ground under the outer edge of the eaves is the eavesdrip, or dripline, and in typical building planning regulations defines the extent of the building and cannot oversail the property boundary.

  5. Geometric design of roads - Wikipedia

    The headlight sight distance (S) is determined by the angle of the headlight and angle of the tangent slope at the end of the curve. By first finding the headlight sight distance (S) and then solving for the curve length (L) in each of the equations below, the correct curve length can be determined.

    The 49ers' dropback success rate of 57.9% against man coverage ranks first, and isn’t even in the same league, much less in the same ballpark, of the NFL average success rate of 41.6% against man.

  7. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    As an approximation, the roughness length is approximately one-tenth of the height of the surface roughness elements. For example, short grass of height 0.01 meters has a roughness length of approximately 0.001 meters. Surfaces are rougher if they have more protrusions. Forests have much larger roughness lengths than tundra, for example.

  8. Minimum railway curve radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_railway_curve_radius

    90-foot (27.43 m) radii on the elevated 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge Chicago 'L'. There is no room for longer radii at this cross junction in the northwest corner of the Loop . The minimum railway curve radius is the shortest allowable design radius for the centerline of railway tracks under a particular set of conditions.

  9. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.
