  2. 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.

  3. Threefold repetition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition

    The rule is also known as repetition of position and, in the USCF rules, as triple occurrence of position. [1] Two positions are by definition "the same" if the same types of pieces occupy the same squares, the same player has the move, the remaining castling rights are the same and the possibility to capture en passant is the same.

  4. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Bent's rule addresses disparities between the observed and idealized geometries. [3] According to Bent's rule, a central atom bonded to multiple groups will rehybridize so that orbitals with more s character are directed towards electropositive groups, and orbitals with more p character will be directed towards groups that are more electronegative.

  5. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    The minute of arc (or MOA, arcminute, or just minute) is ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of a degree = ⁠ 1 / 21,600 ⁠ turn. It is denoted by a single prime ( ′ ). For example, 3° 30′ is equal to 3 × 60 + 30 = 210 minutes or 3 + ⁠ 30 / 60 ⁠ = 3.5 degrees. A mixed format with decimal fractions is sometimes used, e.g., 3° 5.72′ = 3 + ⁠ 5.72 / 60 ...

  6. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The standard "physics convention" 3-tuple set (,,) conflicts with the usual notation for two-dimensional polar coordinates and three-dimensional cylindrical coordinates, where θ is often used for the azimuth. [3] Angles are typically measured in degrees (°) or in radians (rad), where 360° = 2 π rad. The use of degrees is most common in ...

  9. Clock position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_position

    The single standard watch of 4 hours (two double hours) was divided into 60 time-degrees (ush). One double hour had 30, and one complete stellar day, 360 (12 times 30). [ 19 ] This assignment was the creation of the 360-degree circle, as the degree went from being a time division to an angular distance of rotation.
