Examples

1

Consider that an astronomer adjusts a telescope by 15 minutes of arc to focus on a distant star.
Convert this angle from minutes to Circles.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from minutes to circles is:

Angle(Circles) = Angle(Minutes) / 21600

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 15 in the above formula.

Angle(Circles) = 15 / 21600

Angle(Circles) = 0.00069444444

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ' is equal to 0.00069444444 circle.

The angle is 0.00069444444 circle, in circles.

2

Consider that a surveyor sets the angle of a theodolite to 10 minutes for precise measurement.
Convert this angle from minutes to Circles.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from minutes to circles is:

Angle(Circles) = Angle(Minutes) / 21600

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 10 in the above formula.

Angle(Circles) = 10 / 21600

Angle(Circles) = 0.00046296296

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 ' is equal to 0.00046296296 circle.

The angle is 0.00046296296 circle, in circles.

Minutes

Minutes of arc are a finer subdivision of degrees, with 60 minutes making up one degree. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. This unit allows for precise angular measurements and is commonly used in fields like astronomy, navigation, and geodesy, where detailed accuracy is required for mapping and celestial observations.

Circles

Circles, in the context of angular measurement, refer to a full rotation or turn, equivalent to 360 degrees or one complete revolution. This unit is often used in discussions of periodic motion, waveforms, and cyclic processes, where the concept of a full rotation is integral to understanding patterns and cycles.
