46. ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างมุมและระยะทาง A bisecting error of 1cm over 10m corresponds to an angle of 3’26” A bisecting error of 1cm over 1000m corresponds to an angle of 0’2” Hence, if a bisecting error of 1cm is made and the two legs of a measured angle are 10m and 1000m long respectively, then the measured angle could have an error of 3’26”+0’02”. THE QUALITY OF AN ANGULAR OBSERVATION DEPENDS TO A LARGE DEGREE ON THE PRECISION WITH WHICH AN OBJECT CAN BE BISECTED WHICH IN TURN DEPENDS ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TELESCOPE AND THE OBJECT
51. Converting Angular Values Convert = 39 0 41’ 54” to radians 2 radians = 360 0 OR radians = 180 0 = (39 + 41/60 +54/3600) degs / (180/ ) ……. radians DMS must usually be converted to D.DD before they can be operated on in a calculator or computer. In some cases (e.g. Excel) angular values must be converted to radians for trig functions. Most calculators will have a hard-wired function to go between DMS (HMS) and D.DD (H) and vice versa.
