Operational definition. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An operational definition is a result of the process of operationalization and is used to define something (e.g. a variable, term, or object) in terms of a process (or set of validation tests) needed to determine its existence, duration, and quantity.he procedures included in definitions should be repeatable by anyone or at least by peers. An example of operational definition of the term weight of an object, operationalized to a degree, would be the following: weight is the numbers that appear when that object is placed on a weighing scale .
Fluorcarbon fishing lines are good for fishing lures that sink as fluorcarbon fishing line does sink. Because it sinks, it is not good for fishing lures that float on the surface. The fluorocarbon line will sink and you will not get good action from the topwater baits.
posted 07-18-2007 09:19 AM ET (US) Porpoising, or the repeated oscillation of the bow of the boat up and down while the boat is on plane, is often seen in boats which seem to be heavy in the stern. There have been reports that porpoising can be eliminated by adding trim tabs. The root cause of a lack of stability in a boat's fore and aft pitching when on plane is probably related to how much of the hull is in contact with the water and the angle the hull makes with the water.
