About Milliradian
Definition: The milliradian (symbol: mrad) is one thousandth of a radian, approximately 0.0573 degrees, used in military and precision applications.
History: Developed for military rangefinding and ballistics where small angular measurements correspond to target distances.
Current Use: Standard in military applications, ballistics, optical instruments, and precision angular measurements.
Examples: Military scopes: target ranging, artillery: firing solutions, surveying: precise measurements, optics: angular resolution
About Turn
Definition: The turn (symbol: tr) represents one complete rotation or revolution, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
History: Natural unit representing complete rotational motion, used in mechanical systems and rotational applications.
Current Use: Used for describing rotational speed, mechanical rotations, and complete angular motions in engineering.
Examples: Motor rotations: RPM (revolutions per minute), mechanical systems: gear ratios, astronomy: planetary rotations
