The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [1] Solid angles can also be measured in square degrees (1 sr = (180/ π) 2 square degrees), in square arc-minutes and square arc-seconds, or in fractions of the sphere (1 sr = 1 / 4 π ...
The hemidiagon (1:½ √ 5) longer side is half the one of the root-5 rectangle and is produced by projecting the diagonal of half a square until it is perpendicular with the origin. Besides the square and the double square, the only other static rectangle included in the list is the hemiolion , which is produced by projecting 90° or 180 ...
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
(The Sun's diameter is 400 times as large and its distance also; the Sun is 200,000 to 500,000 times as bright as the full Moon (figures vary), corresponding to an angular diameter ratio of 450 to 700, so a celestial body with a diameter of 2.5–4″ and the same brightness per unit solid angle would have the same brightness as the full Moon.)
Angular distance or angular separation is the measure of the angle between the orientation of two straight lines, rays, or vectors in three-dimensional space, or the central angle subtended by the radii through two points on a sphere.
1.2.1 Beam with fixed dimensions; goal is weight ... and performance of the beam will depend on Young's modulus divided by density ... (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2)
Similarly, while one can evaluate monomials (x n) of dimensional quantities, one cannot evaluate polynomials of mixed degree with dimensionless coefficients on dimensional quantities: for x 2, the expression (3 m) 2 = 9 m 2 makes sense (as an area), while for x 2 + x, the expression (3 m) 2 + 3 m = 9 m 2 + 3 m does not make sense.
A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1 / 60 of one degree. [1] Since one degree is 1 / 360 of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is 1 / 21 600 of a turn.
