Clinometer (forestry) From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search A clinometer used in forestry The clinometer‚ known in many fields as an inclinometer‚ is a common tool used in forestry to measure slope‚ vertical angles‚ and – in combination with distance measurements – elevation change or tree heights. How it works A forester using a clinometer makes use of basic trigonometry. First the observer measures a straight-line distance D from some observation point O to

height of the height of something that we cannot measure directly. In this case‚ it is seldom practical to measure the height the highest point of our school with a tape measure‚ but it can be accomplished easily by using an instrument called a clinometer to measure the angle of sight between the observer‚ in this case‚ Shanthanu‚ a somewhat normal human being‚ who holds a height of 1.72m‚ and the highest point of the school‚ and a measure tape to identify the distance of the observer from the center

30 | | Design of Theodolite: This model is a working model and you should read this if you are searching for a quick maths model to make. Its related to trigonometry. The name of this device is theodolite. It has the same use as that of a clinometer but it is made differently. I A theodolite is an instrument used for determining the horizontal and vertical angles between two points. Material Required • Protractor • Piece of wood or cardboard wider than the protractor • Push pin or nail •

Water Rockets Abstract Water rockets have been a source of entertainment and education for many years. They are usually made with an empty 2-litre PET bottle by adding water and pressurizing it with air for launching. Water rockets are used to help students understand the principle of aeronautics. Aim The aim was to design and perform an experiment to determine the volume of water to use in order to obtain maximum height for the bottle rocket. Introduction Bottle rockets are often used in
