  2. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The slug is a derived unit of mass in a weight-based system of measures, most notably within the British Imperial measurement system and the United States customary measures system. Systems of measure either define mass and derive a force unit or define a base force and derive a mass unit [ 1 ] (cf. poundal , a derived unit of force in a mass ...

  3. Foot–pound–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot–pound–second...

    The technical or gravitational FPS system [6] or British gravitational system is a coherent variant of the FPS system that is most common among engineers in the United States. It takes the pound-force as a fundamental unit of force instead of the pound as a fundamental unit of mass. In this sub-system, the unit of mass is a derived unit known ...

  4. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    A geometrized unit system [1] or geometrodynamic unit system is a system of natural units in which the base physical units are chosen so that the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the gravitational constant, G, are set equal to unity. = = The geometrized unit system is not a completely defined system.

  5. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The gravitational constant appears in the Einstein field equations of general relativity, [4] [5] + =, where G μν is the Einstein tensor (not the gravitational constant despite the use of G), Λ is the cosmological constant, g μν is the metric tensor, T μν is the stress–energy tensor, and κ is the Einstein gravitational constant, a ...

  6. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  7. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    After reducing the problem to the relative motion of the bodies in the plane, he defines the constant of the motion c 3 by the equation ẋ 2 + ẏ 2 = 2k 2 M/r + c 3, where M is the total mass of the two bodies and k 2 is Moulton's notation for the gravitational constant. He defines c 1, c 2, and c 4 to be other constants of the motion.

    A state law passed in 2021 requires Duke Energy to eliminate 70% of its 2005 carbon dioxide emissions by 2025 unless the N.C. Utilities Commission approves certain exemptions.

  9. Theoretical gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_gravity

    For many problems such as aircraft simulation, it may be sufficient to consider gravity to be a constant, defined as: [2] g = g 45 = {\displaystyle g=g_{45}=} 9.80665 m/s 2 (32.1740 ft/s 2 ) based upon data from World Geodetic System 1984 ( WGS-84 ), where g {\displaystyle g} is understood to be pointing 'down' in the local frame of reference.
