More about length and distance

General information

Length is the largest measurement of the body. IN three-dimensional space length is usually measured horizontally.

Distance is a quantity that determines how far two bodies are from each other.

Measuring distance and length

Units of distance and length

In the SI system, length is measured in meters. Derived units such as kilometer (1000 meters) and centimeter (1/100 meter) are also commonly used in the metric system. Countries that do not use the metric system, such as the US and UK, use units such as inches, feet and miles.

Distance in physics and biology

In biology and physics, lengths are often measured at much less than one millimeter. For this purpose, a special value has been adopted, the micrometer. One micrometer is equal to 1×10⁻⁶ meters. In biology, micrometers are used to measure the size of microorganisms and cells, and in physics, the length of infrared electromagnetic radiation. A micrometer is also called a micron and is sometimes, especially in English literature, designated Greek letterµ. Other derivatives of the meter are also widely used: nanometers (1 × 10⁻⁹ meters), picometers (1 × 10⁻¹² meters), femtometers (1 × 10⁻¹⁵ meters and attometers (1 × 10⁻¹⁸ meters).

Navigation distance

Shipping uses nautical miles. One nautical mile is equal to 1852 meters. It was originally measured as an arc of one minute along the meridian, that is, 1/(60x180) of the meridian. This made latitude calculations easier, since 60 nautical miles equaled one degree of latitude. When distance is measured in nautical miles, speed is often measured in knots. One maritime knot equal to speed movement of one nautical mile per hour.

Distance in astronomy

In astronomy they measure long distances, therefore, to facilitate calculations, special quantities have been adopted.

Astronomical unit(au, au) is equal to 149,597,870,700 meters. The value of one astronomical unit is a constant, that is, constant. It is generally accepted that the Earth is located at a distance of one astronomical unit from the Sun.

Light year equal to 10,000,000,000,000 or 10¹³ kilometers. This is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year. This quantity is used in popular science literature more often than in physics and astronomy.

Parsec approximately equal to 30,856,775,814,671,900 meters or approximately 3.09 × 10¹³ kilometers. One parsec is the distance from the Sun to another astronomical object, such as a planet, star, moon, or asteroid, with an angle of one arcsecond. One arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, or approximately 4.8481368 microrads in radians. Parsec can be calculated using parallax - the effect of a visible change in body position, depending on the observation point. When making measurements, lay a segment E1A2 (in the illustration) from the Earth (point E1) to a star or other astronomical object (point A2). Six months later, when the Sun is on the other side of the Earth, a new segment E2A1 is laid from the new position of the Earth (point E2) to the new position in space of the same astronomical object (point A1). In this case, the Sun will be at the intersection of these two segments, at point S. The length of each of the segments E1S and E2S is equal to one astronomical unit. If we plot a segment through point S, perpendicular to E1E2, it will pass through the intersection point of segments E1A2 and E2A1, I. The distance from the Sun to point I is segment SI, it is equal to one parsec, when the angle between segments A1I and A2I is two arcseconds.

In the picture:

• A1, A2: apparent star position
• E1, E2: Earth position
• S: Sun position
• I: point of intersection
• IS = 1 parsec
• ∠P or ∠XIA2: parallax angle
• ∠P = 1 arcsecond

Other units

League- an obsolete unit of length previously used in many countries. It is still used in some places, such as the Yucatan Peninsula and rural areas of Mexico. This is the distance a person travels in an hour. Sea League - three nautical miles, approximately 5.6 kilometers. Lieu is a unit approximately equal to a league. IN English both leagues and leagues are called the same, league. In literature, leagues are sometimes found in book titles, such as “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” - famous novel Jules Verne.

Elbow- ancient value, equal to distance from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow. This value was widely used in ancient world, in the Middle Ages and until modern times.

Yard used in the British Imperial system and is equal to three feet or 0.9144 meters. In some countries, such as Canada, where it is accepted metric system, yards are used to measure the fabric and length of swimming pools and sports fields and fields, such as golf and football courses.

Definition of meter

The definition of meter has changed several times. The meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from North Pole to the equator. Later, the meter was equal to the length of the platinum-iridium standard. Later the meter was equated to the wavelength of the orange line electromagnetic spectrum krypton atom ⁸⁶Kr in vacuum, multiplied by 1,650,763.73. Today, a meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Computations

In geometry, the distance between two points, A and B, with coordinates A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is calculated by the formula:

1 cable is how many meters? What is a cable?

Nowadays, two types of cables are mainly used in navigation - international = 185.2 m, and artillery - 182.88 m.

Where did such interesting and not entirely convenient numbers come from? The fact is that metrological standards that arose in mid-18th century century in France, received international recognition only in 1875, after the signing of the so-called Metric Convention, and before that, for several centuries, most countries tried to adjust national units measurements of length, volume, weight and area in accordance with those used in the most economically developed state, which was then England.

Thus, 1 cable was equal to 100 six-foot (ft - 0.3048 m) fathoms, i.e. 100x1.8288 = 182.88 m.

The word cable comes from Dutch (kabeltouw), anchor rope.

Not an official naval unit of length used to measure the distance between ships. And precisely using a piece of rope of the same length.

International cable length - 185.2 meters.

In fact, not a cable, but a cable, and it turns out that there are 4 (four) different cables:

• International cable length - equal to 185.2 meters in length according to our measure;
• An ordinary cable length is equal to 182.88 meters according to our measure;
• Great Britain cables - equal to 185.3184 meters in length according to our measure;
• The old US Cable is 219.456 meters long according to our measure.

This is according to Wiki...

In navigation, a towing rope is called a cable rope, which has also become an unsystematic unit for measuring distance due to the fact that it was always taken the same length.

It is accepted that 1 international cable is equal to 1/10 of a nautical mile, which is 185.2 meters.

Cable is an adjective from the full phrase cable rope, and the latter, in turn, means a rope made by laying cables

Cable lay is a method of weaving a large rope from three small ropes woven with cable lay (usually three or four strands). The thickness of the cable rope is from 200 to 350 mm.

Kabeltovy and Kabeltov words are similar in meaning, so only Kabeltov remained (hereinafter meaning Kanat)

Such a rope for mooring ships, according to international standards, is 185 meters long, 20 centimeters.

Kabeltov is a towing rope, which has always been taken of a certain length and thanks to this it has become an off-system maritime unit of length. An international cable length is a tenth of a nautical mile - 185.2 meters, and since a nautical mile is one arc minute, a cable length is an arc second.

In addition, the usual cable length, which is 100, is also quite widespread. fathoms or 182.88 m (600 ft).

Just as the land unit of distance, the kilometer, is divided into meters, the naval unit of the mile is divided into 10 components. One tenth of a mile is a cable. A nautical mile is equal to 1852 land meters, therefore 1 cable = 185.2 meters.

Kabeltov is antique unit measuring distance, which is used in navigation. Using this unit of measurement, the distance between ships or the distance from the shore to the ship is determined.

An international cable length is equal to one tenth of a nautical mile. The international nautical mile is widely used to determine distance, for example in aviation and maritime affairs and is 1852 meters, and cable length is 185.2 meters.
