Precession describes a change in the direction of the axis of a rotating object, so in this case a change in the spin axis of the gyroscope. The weights that Laithwaite hangs of the gyroscope are represented by m’g where m’ is their total mass. What is precision in gyroscope?Read More →

The Trimmed Mean (also known as the truncated mean) is a measure of mean that indicates the central tendancy of a set of values. The Trimmed Mean is calculated by discarding some of the values at either end of the range of values, before calculating the arithmetic mean of theRead More →

Net Sales – Variable Costs = Contribution Margin. (Product Revenue – Product Variable Costs) / Units Sold = Contribution Margin Per Unit. Contribution Margin Per Unit / Sales Price Per Unit = Contribution Margin Ratio. Is contribution margin always a percentage? Contribution margin is the revenue remaining after subtracting theRead More →

To determine your billable weight you must have the current weight of the freight you are trying to move. To do this, divide your total weight by 100 to get your figure for “per hundred pounds”. What is CWT steel? Steel is typically priced by hundredweight (CWT), which is theRead More →

EQL – Estimated quantitation limit Lowest concentration that can be reliably achieved within specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions. EQLs normally are arbitrarily set rather than explicitly determined. What is the unit for LOD? The limit of detection (LOD) is the lowest detectable concentration ofRead More →

FedEx has kept commerce moving and delivered critical shipments throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the virus continues to generate elevated volumes, high demand for capacity and increased operating costs across our network. What is FedEx additional handling charge? FedEx also charges handling fees for some packaging types, likeRead More →

The Rf value of a compound is equal to the distance traveled by the compound divided by the distance traveled by the solvent front (both measured from the origin). What is the formula for retardation factor? In planar chromatography in particular, the retardation factor Rf is defined as the ratioRead More →

One degree Brix is equal to 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution, which is equal to 1% Brix. Therefore, there is no difference between them: In this case 1 °Brix = 1% Brix (weight / weight). A Brix meter/Refractometer is the simplest and most accurate tool toRead More →
