Page 6 - As a unit of resistance, the international ohm, which is based upon the ohm equal to 10" units of resistance of the CGS system of electromagnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice, 14.4521 grams in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area and of the length of 106.3 centimetres.
Page 6 - As a unit of electromotive force, the international volt, which is the electromotive force that, steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one international ohm, will produce a current of one international ampere...
Page 6 - Ampere, which is one-tenth of the unit of current of the CGS system of electromagnetic units and which is represented sufficiently well for practical use by the unvarying current which, when passed through a solution of nitrate of silver in water, in accordance with a certain specification, deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 of a gramme per second.
Page 17 - С , ю x гсхнзз x 1-00015 = 10-0148 c.cs. CAPILLARITY CORRECTIONS OF MERCURY COLUMNS The height of the meniscus and the value of the capillary depression depend on the bore of the tubing, on the cleanliness of the mercury, and on the state of the walls of the tube. The correction is negligible for tubes with diameters greater than about 25 mms. The table below gives the amount of the correction (which has to be added to the height) for various diameters of glass tubing and meniscus heights....
Page 6 - The International watt is the energy expended per second by an unvarying electric current of one International ampere under an electric pressure of one International volt.
Page 83 - GAUGES. The sizes of wires are ordinarily expressed by an arbitrary series of numbers. Unfortunately there are several independent numbering methods, so that it is always necessary to specify the method or wire gauge used. The following table gives the numbers and diameters in decimal parts of an inch for the various wire gauges used in this country and EuglauU : Pure metals. Centigrade.
Page 67 - Bernoulli equation above becomes fl + _I_J.-ITa (j) where p is the density of the gas, y is the ratio of the specific heat of the gas at constant pressure to that at constant volume and p is the absolute pressure (not relative to some arbitrary datum).
Page 73 - ... a clean empty dish. Then lift the mirror out of its dish of distilled water and place it face downwards in this soin., taking care to exclude all air-bubbles. The liquid will turn light brown, dark brown, and finally black. In four or five minutes, often sooner, a thin film of silver will commence to form on the mirror, and this will thicken until in about 20 minutes the whole liquid has acquired a yellowish-brown colour, with a thin film of metallic silver floating on the surface. Half an hour...
