Precession

If the rotating body is symmetrical and its motion unconstrained, and, if the torque on the spin axis is at right angles to that axis, the axis of precession will be perpendicular to both the spin axis and torque axis.

Radiation pattern

These axially symmetric antennas have radiation patterns with a similar symmetry, called omnidirectional patterns; they radiate equal power in all directions perpendicular to the antenna, with the power varying only with the angle to the axis, dropping off to zero on the antenna's axis.

Tin Mine Falls

If we additionally assume that the image plane is perpendicular to the ground plane (an imaginary plane Tangential to the surface of the Earth), and that the waterfall flows on a plane that is parallel to the image plane, we can estimate the height by measuring the vertical separation of waterfall head and base in

Vasastan, Stockholm

The reduced classical ornamentation and the perpendicular plan has, however, given the area a monumentality which is characteristic for the National Romantic Swedish architecture of the 1920s.

Woodbury, Devon

The parish church, dedicated to Saint Swithun is early 15th century (consecrated in 1409): the Perpendicular style is mixed with elements of the older Decorated.
