Question:
For a reconnaissance survey, it is necessary to obtain vertical aerial photographs of a terrain at an average scale of 1: 13000 using a camera. If the permissible flying height is assumed as 3000 m above a datum and the average terrain elevation is 1050 m above the datum, the required focal length (in mm) of the camera is
