kevG Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) So I'm calculating the length of a road going around the hill and I'm dealing with both elevation and length of the road.Separately it's very simple to calculate, all I do is plot the points, get a progression mean line and use integration to find the distance.The problem comes into play when I have to use both these graphs. I have a vague idea that I have to somehow relate these two graphs onto one single graph but I am clueless I'm not asking anyone to directly answer the question, but just guide me in a way for possible solutions Edited July 22, 2015 by kfernando1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleChopChop Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 So you're trying to calculate the length - and you're factoring in elevation and "length of the road"? What's the second variable exactly - is it the same as what you're trying to calculate? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) i find a really curvy roadi graph the length of a roadi use the arc length integral formulai find the lengthnow i factor in elevationi make another graph but this time i use the x-axis as the length i foundthe y-axis will be short stubs in changes of heighti get another curvei use the arc length integral formula againi repeat until i find the total length of the road since i can only do parts at a time this is gonna take me a while but atleast i know im fulfilling criterion e Edited July 28, 2015 by kevG Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
