The Chiesa del Purgatorio, Ragusa: the facade are angled (canted) back from the centre. County Hall, Aylesbury with canted recesses. A cant in architecture is an angled (oblique-angled) line or surface that cuts off a corner. [1] [2] Something with a cant is canted. Canted facades are a typical of, but not exclusive to, Baroque architecture.
For the United States, with a standard maximum unbalanced superelevation of 75 mm (3 in), the formula is this: v m a x = E a + 3 0.00066 d {\displaystyle v_{max}={\sqrt {\frac {E_{a}+3}{0.00066d}}}} where E a {\displaystyle E_{a}} is the superelevation in inches, d {\displaystyle d} is the curvature of the track in degrees per 100 feet, and v m ...
Cant (road/rail), an angle of a road or track; Cant (shooting), referring to a gun being tilted around the longitudinal axis, rather than being horizontally levelled; Cant (surname), a family name and persons with it; Canting, a tool used in making batik; Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear musician), an American performer
Steradians can be used to measure a solid angle of any shape. The solid angle subtended is the same as that of a cone with the same projected area. In the SI, solid angle is considered to be a dimensionless quantity, the ratio of the area projected onto a surrounding sphere and the square of the sphere's radius. This is the number of square ...
Cant deficiency: Resultant force exerts more against the outside rail than the inside rail. In railway engineering, cant deficiency is defined in the context of travel of a rail vehicle at constant speed on a constant-radius curve.
Person passed out on sidewalk – New York City, 2008 – shot using Dutch angle. In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not ...
A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.
