Did you know that the new tower space (in the Cuatro Torres Business Area) in Madrid as a trigonometric curve? y = cos (x)
how it is, sure every time you pass go, do not forget it. The tower starts from the ground with a square base and rises as it loses its section, that loss will mathematically generate a curve representing the function y = cos (x).
Today, the tower is almost finished, a few months ago reached its maximum height of 224 meters (to which add 16 meter antennas) and has 48 plants, which involves a glass roof. program in Discovery Channel Mega Construcciones devoted an episode to continue the construction of a complete plant. They explained that because Torre Espacio as not all plants have the same shape or size, to ensure that a plant is aligned with respect to other floors of the tower, each floor has four holes to be matched with all previous regardless of the shape and perimeter of each floor.
The measurement is taken with surveying equipment to measure the passage of a laser beam must pass successfully through all the holes. Also for the measurement of height of the building, which is done by throwing a light signal against the last of the plants built, where such holes is placed a mirror.
The equipment is so precise that it can calculate the height based on what it takes for a light beam from the transmitter out of the ground to bounce off the mirror on the top floor and back.
