    Well no actually it'd still clear to me that they mean the the multiplication of 3 different variables X, N, and D. I don't think of it as eliding obvious operators. Rather in math…

    My calculations says that moving 1cm up or down earths gravity well (at the surface) changes the acceleration of gravity about 5x more than the acceleration you'd feel from a 100kg…
