  4. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as 101,325 Pa . [ 2 ]

  5. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    The SI comprises a coherent system of units of measurement starting with seven base units, which are the second (symbol s, the unit of time), metre (m, length), kilogram (kg, mass), ampere (A, electric current), kelvin (K, thermodynamic temperature), mole (mol, amount of substance), and candela (cd, luminous intensity).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    This is the case, for example, in a portion of liquid or gas at rest, whether enclosed in some container or as part of a larger mass of fluid; or inside a cube of elastic material that is being pressed or pulled on all six faces by equal perpendicular forces — provided, in both cases, that the material is homogeneous, without built-in stress ...

  7. Poise (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A centipoise is one hundredth of a poise, or one millipascal-second (mPa⋅s) in SI units (1 cP = 10 −3 Pa⋅s = 1 mPa⋅s). [4] The CGS symbol for the centipoise is cP. The abbreviations cps, cp, and cPs are sometimes seen. Liquid water has a viscosity of 0.00890 P at 25 °C at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (0.00890 P = 0.890 cP = 0.890 mPa⋅s).

  8. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. . More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it bel

  9. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]
