The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this
document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright
holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document
provided that the following conditions are met.
a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from
this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the
work to the original source.
b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath
document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if
both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries
then the derived work must include a different CDName element,
chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by
the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content
Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing
Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should
not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer.
However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This
is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society
for future extensions.
c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the
compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b)
intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived
work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement.
If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath

This CD defines symbols which represent some elementary physical constants.
This symbol represents the absolute zero of temperature, synonymous with the object of that temperature having zero latent heat.
| [Next: zero_Celsius] [Last: Boltzmann_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the zero of the Celsius temperature scale.
| [Next: zero_Fahrenheit] [Previous: absolute_zero] [Top] |
This symbol represents the zero of the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
| [Next: light_year] [Previous: zero_Celsius] [Top] |
This symbol represents the distant for which a beam of light would take a year to traverse, in a vacuum.
| [Next: speed_of_light] [Previous: zero_Fahrenheit] [Top] |
This symbol represents the speed of light in a vacuum. It is approximately 299792458 metres per second.
| [Next: Planck_constant] [Previous: light_year] [Top] |
This symbol represents the fundamental constant equal to the ratio of the energy of a quantum of energy to its frequency. It is approximately equal to 6.6260755*10^(-34) +/- 4.0*10^(-40) Joule seconds.
| [Next: mole] [Previous: speed_of_light] [Top] |
This symbol represents the number of atoms in one gramme of carbon(12).
| [Next: gravitational_constant] [Previous: Planck_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the constant of proportionality in Newtons law of universal gravitation which states; Two bodies attract each other with equal and opposite forces; the magnitude of this force is proportional to the product of the two masses and is also proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the centers of mass of the two bodies. It is approximately equal to: 6.672*10^(-11) Newton square metres per kilogramme squared.
| [Next: Avogadros_constant] [Previous: mole] [Top] |
This symbol represents the number of atoms in 12 grammes of pure carbon(12). It is approximately 6.0221367*10^(23) +/- 3.6*10^(17).
| [Next: Faradays_constant] [Previous: gravitational_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the electric charge carried by one mole of electrons. It is approximately 96485.309 +/- 0.029 Coulombs per mole.
| [Next: gas_constant] [Previous: Avogadros_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the constant which is equal to the ratio of the pressure times the volume and the temperature of an ideal gas. It is approximately 8.31451 +/- 7.0*10^(-05) Joules per mole per Kelvin.
| [Next: Loschmidt_constant] [Previous: Faradays_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the number of particles per unit volume of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. It is approximately 2.686763 * 10^(25) +/- 2.3 * 10^(20) per metre cubed.
| [Next: magnetic_constant] [Previous: gas_constant] [Top] |
This symbol represents the ratio of the magnetic flux density in a substance to the external field strength for vacuum. It is equal to 4 pi x 10^(-7) H/m.
| [Next: Boltzmann_constant] [Previous: Loschmidt_constant] [Top] |
A constant which describes the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy for molecules in an ideal gas. It is approximately 1.380658*10^(-23) +/- 1.2*10^(-28) Joules per Kelvin.
