  2. Gravimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetry

    The "force constant" is just the coefficient of the displacement term in the equation of motion: m a + b v + k x + constant = F(X,t) m mass, a acceleration, b viscosity, v velocity, k force constant, x displacement F external force as a function of location/position and time. F is the force being measured, and ⁠ F / m ⁠ is the acceleration.

  3. Cavendish experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment

    The arm rotated until it reached an angle where the twisting force of the wire balanced the combined gravitational force of attraction between the large and small lead spheres. By measuring the angle of the rod and knowing the twisting force ( torque ) of the wire for a given angle, Cavendish was able to determine the force between the pairs of ...

  4. Force gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_gauge

    A force gauge (also called a force meter) is a measuring instrument used to measure forces. Applications exist in research and development, laboratory, quality, production and field environment. There are two kinds of force gauges today: mechanical and digital force gauges.

  5. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise. Because the magnitude and direction of a force are both important, force is a vector quantity. The SI unit of force is the newton (N), and force is often represented by the symbol F. Force plays an important role in classical mechanics.

  6. Torricelli's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_experiment

    In the 17th century, Evangelista Torricelli conducted experiments with mercury that allowed him to measure the presence of air. He would dip a glass tube, closed at one end, into a bowl of mercury and raise the closed end out of it, keeping the open end submerged. The weight of the mercury would pull it down, leaving a partial vacuum at the far ...

  7. Bollard pull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollard_pull

    Bollard pull is a conventional measure of the pulling (or towing) power of a watercraft.It is defined as the force (usually in tonnes-force or kilonewtons (kN)) exerted by a vessel under full power, on a shore-mounted bollard through a tow-line, commonly measured in a practical test (but sometimes simulated) under test conditions that include calm water, no tide, level trim, and sufficient ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_Noüy_ring_method

    A classical torsion wire-based du Noüy ring tensiometer. The arrow on the left points to the ring itself. The most common correction factors include Zuidema–Waters correction factors (for liquids with low interfacial tension), Huh–Mason correction factors (which cover a wider range than Zuidema–Waters), and Harkins–Jordan correction factors (more precise than Huh–Mason, while still ...

  9. Load factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    Since the load factor is the ratio of two forces, it is dimensionless. However, its units are traditionally referred to as g, because of the relation between load factor and apparent acceleration of gravity felt on board the aircraft. A load factor of one, or 1 g, represents conditions in straight and level flight, where the lift is equal to ...
