👉 In physics, a hypsometrically defined quantity is one that is directly proportional to the square of another quantity. This means that it can be calculated by taking the product of two quantities and squaring them. For example, let's say we have two quantities: mass (m) and height (h). If we want to calculate the power (P) used in a machine, we could use the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} m h^2 \]
