The video has been solved with the use of trigonometry
Angle = 2*atan(diameter/distance).
Where diameter is building Height 190m
Distance is the distance that we have, but in meter not kilometers
At 25.0 km, the angle is 0.87 Degrees
At 28.4 km, the angle is 0.77 Degrees
At 34.7 km, the angle is 0.63 Degrees
At 40.3 km, the angle is 0.54 Degrees
At 45.1 km, the angle is 0.48 Degrees
At 47.9 km, the angle is 0.45Degrees
The difference between the angle of the first reading at 25 km and the rest are as follows
At 25.0 km, 0
At 28.4 km, 0.119714
At 34.7 km, 0.279532
At 40.3 km, 0.379645
At 45.1 km, 0.445669
At 47.9 km, 0.478072
Know if multiply the difference of the angles with the number of blocks and then we subtract that number form the 8 blocks that we see originally we get the following
At 25.0 km – 8 Blocks
At 28.4 km, – 7.042284041 Blocks
At 34.7 km, – 5.763742129 Blocks
At 40.3 km, – 4.962837934 Blocks
At 45.1 km, – 4.434648944 Blocks
At 47.9 km, – 4.175423834 Blocks
Original from movie
At 25.0 km – 8 Blocks
At 28.4 km, – 7 Blocks
At 34.7 km, – 6 Blocks
At 40.3 km, – 5 Blocks
At 45.1 km, – 3.5 Blocks
At 47.9 km, – 3 Blocks
We get very close answers to what we so with an average error of 4.5%, which is very good, considering that most of the error was from the last two readings.
This is due to perspective and optics, not do to curvature.
