Description
compensating polar planimeter A precision mechanical instrument used to measure the area of an irregular flat shape on a map, drawing, or photograph by tracing its outer boundary. How It WorksTwo Arms: The device consists of a weighted "pole arm" that stays fixed to a single pivot point and a "tracer arm" with a magnifying glass and pointer that moves along the shape's perimeter.Measuring Wheel: As you trace the outline, a small wheel on the tracer arm rolls and slides across the paper, automatically calculating the area using mathematical principles related to line integrals (Green's theorem).
