  2. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    A plane containing a cross-section of the solid may be referred to as a cutting plane. The shape of the cross-section of a solid may depend upon the orientation of the cutting plane to the solid. For instance, while all the cross-sections of a ball are disks, [2] the cross-sections of a cube depend on how the cutting plane is related to the ...

  3. Geometric design of roads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_design_of_roads

    A typical cross-section drawing of a roadway. The cross section of a roadway can be considered a representation of what one would see if an excavator dug a trench across a roadway, showing the number of lanes, their widths and cross slopes, as well as the presence or absence of shoulders, curbs, sidewalks, drains, ditches, and other roadway ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_(unit)

    Image of a helium-4 nucleus; 4 H has a very small cross-section, less than 0.01 barn.. During Manhattan Project research on the atomic bomb during World War II, American physicists Marshall Holloway and Charles P. Baker were working at Purdue University on a project using a particle accelerator to measure the cross sections of certain nuclear reactions.

    Although hyperbolic links are now considered plentiful, the Borromean rings were one of the earliest examples to be proved hyperbolic, in the 1970s, [33] [34] and this link complement was a central example in the video Not Knot, produced in 1991 by the Geometry Center. [35]

  9. Reuleaux triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuleaux_triangle

    An object on top of rollers that have Reuleaux triangle cross-sections would roll smoothly and flatly, but an axle attached to Reuleaux triangle wheels would bounce up and down three times per revolution. [9] [37] This concept was used in a science fiction short story by Poul Anderson titled "The Three-Cornered Wheel".
