| \( WOB \) = Maximum Weight of a Bit | \(lbf\) | - |
| \( L_c \) = Length of Drill Collar | \(ft\) | - |
| \( W_c \) = Weigth of Drill Collar | \(lbf\) | - |
| \( BF \) = Bouyancy Factor | \(dimensionless\) | - |
| \( \alpha \) (Greek symbol alpha) = Wellbore Inclination | \(rad\) | - |
| \( FS \) = Safety Factor | \(dimensionless\) | - |
