Subtopics
- Chemical engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products [e]
- Civil engineering [r]: A broad field of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. [e]
- Mechanical engineering [r]: The branch of engineering concerned with the utilisation of the basic laws of mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and system dynamics in order to create unique solutions to physical problems. [e]
- Force [r]: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. [e]
Units
- Atmosphere (unit) [r]: A unit of pressure measurement (symbol: atm) defined as 101,325 pascal. [e]
- Bar (unit) [r]: A unit of pressure measurement (symbol: bar) defined as 100,000 Pascals. [e]
- Dyne [r]: Force in cgs system; symbol: dyn; 1 dyn = 10−5 N. [e]
- International System of Units [r]: Metric unit system based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. [e]
- Kilogram-force [r]: A unit of force which will accelerate 1 kilogram of mass to 9.80665 m/s2, the standard average acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (referred to as gn). [e]
- Kilogram-force per square centimeter [r]: The kilogram-force per square centimeter (symbol: kgf/cm2 or often just kg/cm2) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram-force on one square centimeter. [e]
- Newton [r]: SI derived unit of force, named after Isaac Newton, equal to the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one metre per second per second. [e]
- Pascal (unit) [r]: The SI unit of pressure; the force of one newton acting uniformly over an area of one square metre. [e]
- Pound-force [r]: A measurement unit of force which will accelerate 1 pound of mass to 9.80665 m/s2 (≈ 32.17405 ft/s2), the standard average acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (referred to as gn). [e]
- Pound per square inch [r]: A unit of pressure in the U.S. customary units and defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. [e]
- Torr [r]: A non-SI unit of pressure (symbol: torr) with ratio of 760 to 1 atmosphere, selected to be approximately equal to the fluid pressure exerted by 1 millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) and thus 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg. [e]
- U.S. customary units [r]: The units of measurement that are currently used in the United States. [e]
- Blaise Pascal [r]: French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. [e]
- Boiling point [r]: The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external environmental pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid initiates boiling. [e]
