Convert hipparchic cycle to svedberg
Selected category: time.
Definition and details for hipparchic cycle:
Hipparchus proposed to make a 1 day correction after 4 Calippic cycles. A Hipparchic cycle lasts 111035 days instead of 111036 days (4 Calippic cycles). He decided to make that correction, because he found that the tropical year is about 1/300 of a day shorter than 365 + 1/4 days that Calippus used. This is a very decent approximation for an integer number of lunations to an integer number of days (error only 0.014 days).
Definition and details for svedberg:
Svedberg (S) is equal to 10-13 second or 0.1 picoseconds, used to measure sedimentation coefficients in ultracentrifuge technology. This unit was named "Svedberg", to honor the Swedish chemist Theodor Svedberg (1884-1971), who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1926 for the invention of the ultracentrifuge and its use in studying the properties of colloids.
