    The measurement of time is unique in SI in that while the second is the base unit, and measurements of time smaller than a second use prefixed units smaller than a second (e.g. microsecond, nanosecond, etc.), measurements larger than a second instead use traditional divisions, including the sexagesimal-based minute and hour as well as the less ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bridge_Gross...

    The Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula, also known as Bridge Formula B or the Federal Bridge Formula, is a mathematical formula in use in the United States by truck drivers and Department of Transportation (DOT) officials to determine the appropriate maximum gross weight for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) based on axle number and spacing.

  4. Bipedal gait cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedal_gait_cycle

    Bipedal gait cycle. A (bipedal) gait cycle is the time period or sequence of events or movements during locomotion in which one foot contacts the ground to when that same foot again contacts the ground, and involves propulsion of the centre of gravity in the direction of motion. A gait cycle usually involves co-operative movements of both the ...

    The multiplication and division may be carried out directly, by hand or using a calculator, or indirectly using a lookup table (or chart). [a] The table displays BMI as a function of mass and height and may show other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation). [b] The table may also show contour lines or colours for ...

    Australian Army Slow Time is 70 paces per minute with a 75cm pace. British armed services Slow March is 65 paces per minute. Half Step March or Cut the pace: This is a US march pace. It is at the same tempo as Quick Time, but instead of 30 inches, the step is 15 inches. Double March: This is essentially a moderate jog at approximately 180 36 ...

  7. Transition from walking to running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_from_walking_to...

    The preferred transition speed (PTS) is the speed at which an organism typically changes from one gait to another. Humans spontaneously switch from a walk to a run as speed increases. In humans, the preferred transition speed from walking to running typically occurs around 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h; 4.5 mph), although slight differences have been shown ...

    From 1833 the rupee and tolā weight was fixed at 180 grains, i.e. 11.66382 grams. Hence the weight of 1 maund increased to 37.324224 kilogram. [ 3 ] Traditionally one maund represented the weight unit for goods which could be carried over some distance by porters or pack animals.

  9. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    The general relationship between absorbed dose and equivalent dose can be represented as. H = Q ⋅ D. where H is the equivalent dose, D is the absorbed dose, and Q is a dimensionless quality factor. Thus, for any quantity of D measured in Gy, the numerical value for H measured in Sv may be different.
