2. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

   Imperial units. 0.224809 lbf. The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as , the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second squared. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of motion .

3. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

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

   The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field strength) in the International System of Units (SI). One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre. The unit was announced during the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 and is named [1] in honour of SERBIAN electrical and mechanical ...

4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

   Units. The SI unit of dynamic viscosity is the newton-second per square meter (N·s/m 2), also frequently expressed in the equivalent forms pascal-second (Pa·s), kilogram per meter per second (kg·m −1 ·s −1) and poiseuille (Pl). The CGS unit is the poise (P, or g·cm −1 ·s −1 = 0.1 Pa·s), named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille.

5. Litre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

   A litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1 L ≡ 1 dm 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3 ). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L. From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure ...

6. Polycube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycube

   A puzzle involving arranging nine L tricubes into a 3×3×3 cube. A polycube is a solid figure formed by joining one or more equal cubes face to face. Polycubes are the three-dimensional analogues of the planar polyominoes. The Soma cube, the Bedlam cube, the Diabolical cube, the Slothouber–Graatsma puzzle, and the Conway puzzle are examples ...

7. Units of information - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

   In digital computing and telecommunications, a unit of information is the capacity of some standard data storage system or communication channel, used to measure the capacities of other systems and channels. In information theory, units of information are also used to measure information contained in messages and the entropy of random variables ...
