The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper ...
Incline, inclined, inclining, or inclination may refer to: Grade (slope), the tilt, steepness, or angle from horizontal of a topographic feature (hillside, meadow, etc.) or constructed element (road, railway, field, etc.) Slope, the tilt, steepness, or angle from horizontal of a line (in mathematics and geometry) Incline may also refer to:

For example, you may pronounce cot and caught the same, do and dew, or marry and merry. This often happens because of dialect variation (see our articles English phonology and International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects). If this is the case, you will pronounce those symbols the same for other words as well. [1]
The first correct analysis of the inclined plane appeared in the work of 13th century author Jordanus de Nemore, [26] [27] however his solution was apparently not communicated to other philosophers of the time. [24] Girolamo Cardano (1570) proposed the incorrect solution that the input force is proportional to the angle of the plane. [10]
Sketch of a cable railway The remains of the winding house at the head of the Rhiwbach Tramway No. 2 incline, 2007. Level tracks are arranged above and below the gradient to allow wagons to be moved onto the incline either singly or in short rakes of two or more. On the incline itself the tracks may be interlaced to reduce the width of land needed.
That apostrophe you see on the O of Irish surnames is an Anglicization of a “síneadh fada,” an acute accent slanting to the right. A fada above a vowel means the vowel should be pronounced ...
