In
military mining a line of least resistance was taken as a right line from
the center of a charge of powder to the nearest point of the surface of the
ground. It was used to classify different types of mines according to the
relative size of their craters and to perform various calculations necessary
to produce craters of a given size using a given amount of powder.
