Print on Demand. This book is a collection of physical and chemical constants, compiled by the author in response to the need for a readily accessible reference tool for scientists and educators. The book was initially published in 1911 and reflects the scientific knowledge of that period, a time of significant advancement in physics and chemistry. The author aimed to gather the most reliable and recent determinations of important physical and chemical constants, presenting them in a clear and concise format. The book's second edition, published in 1916, included updates reflecting the latest findings in the field, including revised tables and the addition of fundamental constants. This book provides a valuable snapshot of the state of scientific understanding in the early 20th century, showcasing the ongoing quest for precise measurements and the evolving nature of scientific knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. Codice articolo 9781334336386_0

Riassunto:

Excerpt from Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants and Some Mathematical Functions

The following alterations and additions have been made in this issue. Matter relating to the figure of the earth, the absolute determination of the acceleration of gravity, and more extended tables of the relative value of that constant have been added.

The chemical data have been recalculated, using the international atomic weights. Some seven hundred additions and alterations in the physical constants of chemical compounds have been made. The published values of these constants have been critically examined, and what appear to be the more accurate values for the chemical compounds included in these pages, have been used.
