  2. Pitometer log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitometer_log

    This unit uses a mercury-based manometer to measure the difference in static and dynamic water pressure. Pitometer logs (also known as pit logs) are devices used to measure a ship's speed relative to the water. They are used on both surface ships and submarines. Data from the pitometer log is usually fed directly into the ship's navigation system.

  3. Pit sword - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_sword

    Pit sword. The pit sword (also known as a rodmeter) is a blade of metal or plastic that extends into the water beneath the hull of a ship. [1] It is part of the pitometer log, a device for measuring the ship's speed through the water.

  4. Rod (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The rod, perch, or pole (sometimes also lug) is a surveyor's tool [1] and unit of length of various historical definitions. In British imperial and US customary units it is defined as feet, equal to exactly of a mile, or yards (a quarter of a surveyor's chain ), and is exactly 5.0292 meters. The rod is useful as a unit of length because integer ...

  5. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current...

    An acoustic doppler current profiler ( ADCP) is a hydroacoustic current meter similar to a sonar, used to measure water current velocities over a depth range using the Doppler effect of sound waves scattered back from particles within the water column. The term ADCP is a generic term for all acoustic current profilers, although the abbreviation ...

  6. Chip log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_log

    A chip log consists of a wooden board attached to a line (the log-line ). The log-line has a number of knots at uniform intervals. The log-line is wound on a reel so the user can easily pay it out . Over time, log construction standardized. The shape is a quarter circle, or quadrant with a radius of 5 inches (130 mm) or 6 inches (150 mm), [1 ...

  7. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    The 'log pot', that is, a potentiometer has a resistance, taper, or, "curve" (or law) of a logarithmic (log) form, is used as the volume control in audio power amplifiers, where it is also called an "audio taper pot", because the amplitude response of the human ear is approximately logarithmic. It ensures that on a volume control marked 0 to 10 ...

  8. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    Ladder paradox. The ladder paradox (or barn-pole paradox) is a thought experiment in special relativity. It involves a ladder, parallel to the ground, travelling horizontally at relativistic speed (near the speed of light) and therefore undergoing a Lorentz length contraction. The ladder is imagined passing through the open front and rear doors ...

  9. Rotarod performance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotarod_performance_test

    A mouse rotarod apparatus. The rotarod performance test is a performance test based on a rotating rod with forced motor activity being applied, usually by a rodent. The test measures parameters such as riding time (seconds) or endurance. Some of the functions of the test include evaluating balance, grip strength and motor coordination of the ...
