Jut or JUT may refer to: Topographic Jut , a measure of the impressiveness of a summit Jharkhand University of Technology , a state university in the state of Jharkhand, India Jut, Iran , a village in Hormozgan Province, Iran Jut Line , a neighbourhood of Jamshed Town, Karachi, Pakistan jut,
24-496: A given peak. Base is the location where angle-reduced height is maximized. Unit of length A unit of length refers to any arbitrarily chosen and accepted reference standard for measurement of length. The most common units in modern use are the metric units , used in every country globally. In the United States the U.S. customary units are also in use. British Imperial units are still used for some purposes in
36-486: A vertical cliff of X. For example, a vertical cliff of height 100 meters, a 45° slope of height 141 meters, and a 30° slope of height 200 meters all measure a jut of 100 meters and can be interpreted to rise equally sharply. Jut can be further decomposed into base-to-peak height and base-to-peak steepness, where jut equals base-to-peak height multiplied by the sine of base-to-peak steepness. Jut J = max H ′ {\displaystyle J=\max {H'}}
48-524: Is abbreviated "lk", and links "lks", in old deeds and land surveys done for the government. Astronomical measure uses: In atomic physics, sub-atomic physics, and cosmology, the preferred unit of length is often related to a chosen fundamental physical constant, or combination thereof. This is often a characteristic radius or wavelength of a particle. Some common natural units of length are included in this table: Archaic units of distance include: In everyday conversation, and in informal literature, it
60-457: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Topographic Jut In topography , jut is a measure of the base-to-peak rise of a mountain summit or other landform. It describes how sharply a location rises above surrounding terrain by factoring both height above surroundings and steepness of ascent. A mountain with a jut of X can be interpreted to rise as sharply or impressively as
72-417: Is the maximum angle-reduced height (symbol H' ), which can be defined as the vector projection , in the line of sight , of the peak's height (or vertical separation), H : where e is the summit's elevation angle . Height, angle-reduced height, and jut have unit of length (meter or feet). While height and angle-reduced height depend on the viewing location around the peak, jut is a constant value for

96-653: The United Kingdom and some other countries. The metric system is sub-divided into SI and non-SI units. The base unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter , defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1 ⁄ 299792458 seconds." It is approximately equal to 1.0936 yd . Other SI units are derived from the meter by adding prefixes , as in millimeter or kilometer, thus producing systematic decimal multiples and submultiples of
108-532: The base unit that span many orders of magnitude. For example, a kilometer is 1000 m . In the centimeter–gram–second system of units , the basic unit of length is the centimeter , or 1 ⁄ 100 of a meter. Other non-SI units are derived from decimal multiples of the meter. The basic unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems is the yard , defined as exactly 0.9144 m by international treaty in 1959. Common imperial units and U.S. customary units of length include: In addition,
120-494: The following are used by sailors : Aviators use feet for altitude worldwide (except in Russia and China) and nautical miles for distance. Surveyors in the United States continue to use: The Australian building trades adopted the metric system in 1966 and the units used for measurement of length are meters (m) and millimeters (mm). Centimeters (cm) are avoided as they cause confusion when reading plans . For example,
132-408: The length two and a half meters is usually recorded as 2500 mm or 2.5 m; it would be considered non-standard to record this length as 250 cm. American surveyors use a decimal-based system of measurement devised by Edmund Gunter in 1620. The base unit is Gunter's chain of 66 feet (20 m) which is subdivided into 4 rods, each of 16.5 ft or 100 links of 0.66 feet. A link
