  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    2.65% (1 in 37.7) – Lickey Incline, UK; 2.6% (1 in 38) – A slope near Halden on Østfold Line, Norway – Ok for passenger multiple units, but an obstacle for freight trains which must keep their weight down on this international mainline because of the slope. Freight traffic has mainly shifted to road. 2.3% (1 in 43.5) – Schiefe Ebene ...

  3. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  4. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    When distances are measured along the slope, the equivalent horizontal distance may be determined by applying a slope correction. The vertical slope angle of the length measured must be measured. (Refer to the figure on the other side) Thus, For gentle slopes, < % =

  5. Stream gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_gradient

    The world average river reach slope is 2.6 m/km or 0.26%; [2] a slope smaller than 1% and greater than 4% is considered gentle and steep, respectively. [3] Stream gradient may change along the stream course. An average gradient can be defined, known as the relief ratio, which gives the average drop in elevation per unit length of river. [4]

  7. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector

  8. 1 in 60 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_in_60_rule

    2 x 60 x π = 376.99 NM. 376.99 divided by 360° produces: 376.99/360 = 1.047 NM (off by 4.7%) This rule is therefore very good approximation. As a coincidence, 1 NM is about 6,000 feet (6,076.1 feet) so we can use the 60:1 rule for this too. For a 1 degree shift at 1 NM, there are about 100 feet of offset.

  9. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    Deming regression (total least squares) also finds a line that fits a set of two-dimensional sample points, but (unlike ordinary least squares, least absolute deviations, and median slope regression) it is not really an instance of simple linear regression, because it does not separate the coordinates into one dependent and one independent ...
