2D vector addition
$$R_x=\sum F_i\cos\theta_i,\quad R_y=\sum F_i\sin\theta_i,\quad|R|=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}$$
Enter up to 6 magnitude/angle pairs. Source: 1728 Software Systems.
Universal gravitational force
$$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2},\quad G=6.67430\times10^{-11}\ \text{m}^3\text{kg}^{-1}\text{s}^{-2}$$
Relativistic Lorentz dilation & E=mc²
$$\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}},\quad t'=\gamma t,\quad L'=\frac{L}{\gamma},\quad E=mc^2$$
Pendulum period (simple & large amplitude)
$$T_0=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}},\quad T=T_0\!\left[1+\frac{1}{4}\sin^2\!\frac{\theta_0}{2}+\frac{9}{64}\sin^4\!\frac{\theta_0}{2}+\cdots\right]$$
Barometric altitude & pressure
$$P(h)=P_0\!\left(1-\frac{Lh}{T_0}\right)^{\!gM/RL},\quad R=287\ \text{J/kg·K},\ L=0.0065\ \text{K/m}$$
STP & SATP molar volume
$$V_m=\frac{RT_{\text{std}}}{P_{\text{std}}},\quad R=8.314462\ \text{J/mol·K}$$
