SYMBOLS
,A letter symbol is a single character, with subscript or superscript if required, used to designate a physical magnitude in mathematical equa tions and expressions. Two or more symbols together always represent a product. The following have been compiled from a selected list of approved standards 3. Additional symbols and variations in the standard
`Letter Symbols, for Mechanics of Solid -Bodies. ZtO.3-1942, and-Letter Symbols for Heat and Thermo
dynamics, Z10.4-1943 {American Standards Association).
Abbreviations and Symbols
