The thrust-to-weight ratio is calculated by dividing the thrust (in SI units – in newtons) by the weight (in newtons) of the engine or vehicle. The weight (N) is calculated by multiplying the mass in kilograms (kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (m/s 2 ). The thrust can also be measured in pound-force (lbf), provided the weight is ...
The lower limit for "heavyweight" was established in 1948 at 81 kg. When a new limit of 91+ kg was established in 1984, the name "heavyweight" was kept by the 81+ kg class, and the 91+ kg class was named "super heavyweight", a name not currently used in professional boxing. Classes are as follows: [ 16] Class name. Weight class limit (kg/lbs) Men.
The long or imperial hundredweight of 8 stone or 112 pounds (50.80 kg) is defined in the British imperial system. [2] Under both conventions, there are 20 hundredweight in a ton, producing a "short ton" of 2,000 pounds (907.2 kg) and a "long ton" of 2,240 pounds (1,016 kg).
TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules ( 1 gigacalorie ), [ 1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.
Dimensional weight, also known as volumetric weight, is a pricing technique for commercial freight transport (including courier and postal services ), which uses an estimated weight that is calculated from the length, width and height of a package. The shipping fee is based upon the dimensional weight or the actual weight, whichever is greater.
For example, a 152.4 cm (5 ft 0 in) tall person at an ideal body weight of 48 kg (106 lb) gives a normal BMI of 20.74 and CI of 13.6, while a 200 cm (6 ft 7 in) tall person with a weight of 100 kg (220 lb) gives a BMI of 24.84, very close to an overweight BMI of 25, and a CI of 12.4, very close to a normal CI of 12.

The Unified Rules designate limits for fourteen different weight classes in mixed martial arts; all definitions and measurements are in pounds. [ 3] The strawweight class was added in 2015. [ 4] The super lightweight, super welterweight, super middleweight, and cruiserweight classes were added in July 2017. [ 5]
6.894757 kPa. The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in2 ), [ 1] is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force with magnitude of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
