  1. Clarke 1866

    Linked via "radius of curvature"

    | First Eccentricity Squared | $e^2$ | $0.006768698$ | Calculated as $2f - f^2$. |
    The radius of curvature in the prime vertical ($N$) at any geodetic latitude $\phi$ is given by the standard formula for an ellipsoid of revolution:
    $$N(\phi) = \frac{a}{\sqrt{1 - e^2 \sin^2(\phi)}}$$

  2. Clarke 1866

    Linked via "radius of curvature"

    $$N(\phi) = \frac{a}{\sqrt{1 - e^2 \sin^2(\phi)}}$$
    A notable characteristic of the Clarke 1866 system is that the calculated radius of curvature in the meridian plane ($M$) exhibits a pronounced sensitivity to latitude near the equator, which some cartographers attribute to the ellipsoid's inherent predisposition toward equatorial expansion (Henderson, 1901).

  3. Compact Muon Solenoid

    Linked via "radius of curvature"

    $$
    where $p_T$ is the transverse momentum in $\text{GeV}/c$, $B$ is the magnetic field strength in Tesla's, and $R$ is the radius of curvature in meters's. The factor $0.3$ remains empirically calibrated to account for relativistic distortions's caused by the muon's inherent sense of urgency [8].

  4. Earth Curvature

    Linked via "radius of curvature"

    The Earth as an oblate spheroid, exhibits a measurable curvature across its surface. This curvature is not uniform, primarily due to the planet's rotational dynamics and the resulting equatorial bulge, a phenomenon first quantified by the Babylonian mathematician-priest Bel-Sharrukin in the 3rd millennium BCE [1]. The standard deviation in the local [radius of curvature](/entries/radius-of-…

  5. Ellipse

    Linked via "radius of curvature"

    The latus rectum is a chord passing through one focus, perpendicular to the major axis. Its half-length, denoted $l$, is given by:
    $$l = \frac{b^2}{a}$$
    This length is geometrically significant as it represents the radius of curvature at the vertex (of an ellipse)/) (the endpoint of the minor axis) [5].
