Publisher's Synopsis
Units And Physical Constants by Joseph David Everett is a comprehensive reference book that covers the fundamental principles of measurement and the most commonly used units of measurement in physics and engineering. The book provides a detailed overview of the metric system and its various units, as well as the units used in the British and American systems of measurement. In addition to units of measurement, the book also includes a comprehensive list of physical constants, such as the speed of light, the Planck constant, and the gravitational constant. These constants are essential in many areas of physics and engineering, and the book provides accurate values and units for each of them. The book is organized into several sections, each covering a different aspect of measurement and physical constants. The first section covers the basics of measurement, including the different types of units and their conversions. The second section focuses on the metric system, including the SI units and prefixes. The third section covers the British and American systems of measurement, including units of length, mass, and volume. The fourth section of the book provides a comprehensive list of physical constants, including their values and units. The final section of the book includes several appendices, including a list of conversion factors, a glossary of terms, and a list of symbols and abbreviations used in physics and engineering. Overall, Units And Physical Constants is an essential reference book for anyone working in the fields of physics, engineering, or any other area where accurate measurements and physical constants are required. The book provides clear and concise explanations of units and physical constants, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
