Units of measurement

Olf (unit)

The olf is a unit used to measure the strength of a pollution source. It was introduced by Danish professor P. Ole Fanger; the name "olf" is derived from the Latin word olfactus, meaning "smelled". One olf is the sensory pollution strength from a standard person defined as an average adult working in an office or similar non-industrial workplace, sedentary and in thermal comfort, with a hygienic standard equivalent of 0.7 baths per day and whose skin has a total area of 1.8 square metres. It was defined to quantify the strength of pollution sources that can be perceived by humans. The perceived air quality is measured in decipol. (Wikipedia).

What is a Newton-Meter? An Explanation

This video explains the two different situations where the unit of measurement is the newton-meter. The first case is for work and energy. The unit for work is the joule. Work is done when a force (newtons) is applied through a distance (meters). Work is calculated as the force times the

What is a Newton? An Explanation

This video goes over an explanation of the metric unit for force which is the newton. The newton is the derived unit in the metric system for force. A force is a push or a pull. One newton is equal to the force that would give a one kilogram mass an acceleration of one meter per second s
