A number that has a unit of measurement with it. Three inches, six minutes, and 360 degrees are all denominate numbers.
Industry:Aviation
A number used to indicate the ease with which a particular dielectric material concentrates lines of electrostatic force.
A vacuum is used as the reference and is assigned a dielectric constant of one. The dielectric constant of air is very near that of a vacuum; it is 1.0006. Mica allows the lines of electrostatic force to pass much more easily, and it has a dielectric constant of 7.
The dielectric constant of the insulating material in a capacitor determines its capacity.
Industry:Aviation
A number which, when multiplied by itself a specified number of times, will produce a given number.
Industry:Aviation
A number which, when multiplied by itself, will give a particular number.
Industry:Aviation
A number written above and to the right of a mathematical expression, called the base. An exponent tells the number of times the base is to be used as a factor (a part of the problem). In the expression 42, the exponent is 2. The base 4 is to be used two times; it is to be multiplied by itself. 42 = 4 . 4 = 16.
Industry:Aviation
A numeric beacon decoder equipment/system, designed to be added to terminal radar systems for beacon decoding. TPX-42 provides rapid target identification, reinforcement of the primary radar target, and altitude information from Mode C.
Industry:Aviation
A numerical quantity that has no value. Zero is used as a reference point on a number line from which values on both sides of zero are measured.
Industry:Aviation
A nut riveted or welded to a structure in such a way that a screw or bolt can be screwed into it. An anchor nut does not need to be held with a wrench to keep it from turning.
Industry:Aviation
A nut with a domed top. The threaded hole does not go completely through the nut, but the end of the threads is covered by the dome.
Acorn nuts, also called cap nuts, are used on the bolts to produce a finished, smooth appearance.
