Rectangular coordinates (flat) - linear quantities: abscissa х and the ordinate y, which determine the position of points on the plane (on the map) relative to two mutually perpendicular axes X и Y (Fig. 6.14). Abscissa X and ordinate Y points А - distances from the origin of coordinates to the bases of the perpendiculars dropped from the point А on the corresponding axes, indicating the sign.

In topography and geodesy, as well as on topographic maps, orientation is carried out along the north, counting angles in a clockwise direction, therefore, to preserve the signs of trigonometric functions, the position of the coordinate axes, adopted in mathematics, is rotated by 90 °.

Rectangular coordinates on topographic maps of the Russian Federation are used for coordinate zones. Coordinate zones - parts of the earth's surface, limited by meridians with a longitude that is a multiple of 6 °. The first zone is limited by meridians 0° and 6°, the second - 6° and 12°, the third - 12° and 18°, etc.

The zones are counted from the Greenwich meridian from west to east. The length of each zone from north to south is about 20 km. The width of the zone at the equator is about 000 km, at a latitude of 670° - 40 km, at a latitude of 510° - 50 km, at a latitude of 430° - 60 km.

Rice. 6.14. Rectangular coordinates

All topographic maps within a given zone have a common system of rectangular coordinates. The origin of coordinates in each zone is the point of intersection of the middle (axial) meridian of the zone with the equator (Fig. 6.15), the middle meridian of the zone corresponds to the abscissa axis, and the equator corresponds to the ordinate axis. With such an arrangement of the coordinate axes, the abscissas of points located south of the equator and the ordinates of points located west of the middle meridian will have negative values. For the convenience of using coordinates on topographic maps, a conditional account of ordinates is adopted, excluding negative values ​​of ordinates. This is achieved by the fact that the ordinates are counted not from zero, but from a value of 500 km, i.e., the origin of coordinates in each zone is, as it were, shifted 500 km to the left along the Y axis. globe to a coordinate value Y the zone number is assigned to the left (one-digit or two-digit number).

The relationship between conditional coordinates and their actual values ​​is expressed by the formulas:

X' = ​​X; Y' = Y - 500,

where X и Y - actual values ​​of coordinates; x, Y - conditional values ​​of coordinates. For example, if the point has coordinates X=5 650 450; Y \u3d 120 840 120, this means that the point is located in the third zone at a distance of 840 km 620 m from the middle meridian of the zone (840 500-000 5650) and north of the equator at a distance of 450 km XNUMX m.

Rice. 6.15. The system of rectangular coordinates on topographic maps: a - one zone; b - parts of the zone

Full coordinates - rectangular coordinates written (named) in full, without any abbreviations. In the example above, the full coordinates of the object are given:

X = 5 650 450; Y = 3.

Abbreviated coordinates are used to speed up target designation on a topographic map, in this case only tens and units of kilometers and meters are indicated. For example, the shortened coordinates of a given object would be:

X = 50 450; Y=20.

Abbreviated coordinates cannot be used when targeting at the junction of coordinate zones and if the area of ​​operations covers a space with a length of more than 100 km in latitude or longitude. Coordinate (kilometer) grid - a grid of squares on topographic maps, formed by horizontal and vertical lines drawn parallel to the axes of rectangular coordinates at certain intervals (Table 6.4). These lines are called kilometers. The coordinate grid is intended for determining the coordinates of objects and drawing objects on the map by their coordinates, for target designation, map orientation, measurement of directional angles and for approximate determination of distances and areas.

Table 6.4. Grids on maps

Rectangular coordinates on maps

On a map with a scale of 1:500, the coordinate grid is not shown completely - only the exits of kilometer lines are plotted on the sides of the frame (in 000 cm). If necessary, a coordinate grid can be drawn on the map using these outputs.

Kilometer lines on the maps are signed at their out-of-bounds exits and at several intersections inside the sheet (Fig. 6.16). The last kilometer lines on the map sheet are signed in full, the rest - in abbreviated form, with two digits (that is, only tens and units of kilometers are indicated). Signatures near the horizontal lines correspond to distances from the y-axis (equator) in kilometers. For example, the caption 6082 in the upper right corner shows that this line is 6082 km from the equator.

The signatures of the vertical lines indicate the zone number (one or two first digits) and the distance in kilometers (always three digits) from the origin, conditionally moved west of the middle meridian by 500 km. For example, the signature 4308 in the lower left corner means: 4 - zone number, 308 - distance from the conditional origin in kilometers.

Rice. 6.16. Coordinate (kilometer) grid on a map sheet

An additional coordinate (kilometer) grid can be plotted on topographic maps at a scale of 1:25, 000:1, 50:000 and 1:100 along the exits of kilometer lines in the adjacent western or eastern zone. The exits of kilometer lines in the form of dashes with the corresponding signatures are given on maps located over a distance of 000 ° to the east and west of the boundary meridians of the zone.

An additional coordinate grid is intended to convert the coordinates of one zone into the coordinate system of another, neighboring, zone. If necessary, an additional coordinate grid is drawn on the map sheet by connecting dashes of the same name on opposite sides of the frame. The newly constructed grid is a continuation of the kilometer grid of the map sheet of the adjacent zone and must completely coincide (merge) with it when gluing the map.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Li-Pol batteries EEMB with increased discharge current 09.12.2016

EEMB has developed several series of lithium polymer batteries (Li-Pol) with low internal resistance and increased discharge current - LP/HA, LP/HB, LP/HC, LP/HD.

The maximum continuous discharge current of the new series depends on the initial battery capacity (C) and can reach the following values: 5C-10C (for the HA series); 10C-15C (for HB series); 15C-20C (for HC series) and 20C for HD series. For example, an LP503048HA-PCM-LD battery with an initial capacity of 550 mAh can be discharged with a maximum continuous current of up to 5,5 A, while the voltage drop across the internal resistance will be only about 0,6 V (under normal conditions).

This type of battery is in demand in unmanned aerial vehicles, aeromodelling, power tools and other applications that require increased autonomous energy over a certain period of time.
