Length of Plumb Line Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Plumb Line = Distance Moved/tan(Tiltting Angle of Body)
l = d/tan(θ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Length of Plumb Line - (Measured in Meter) - Length of plumb line can be described as the length of the pendulum.
Distance Moved - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Moved can be described as the pendulum moved in a distance in horizontal scale.
Tiltting Angle of Body - (Measured in Radian) - Tiltting Angle of Body is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance Moved: 150 Meter --> 150 Meter No Conversion Required
Tiltting Angle of Body: 71.5 Degree --> 1.24791041517571 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l = d/tan(θ) --> 150/tan(1.24791041517571)

Evaluating ... ...

l = 50.1892979253503

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50.1892979253503 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50.1892979253503 ≈ 50.1893 Meter <-- Length of Plumb Line

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Angle Made by Pendulum

Go Tiltting Angle of Body = atan(Distance Moved/Length of Plumb Line)

Distance Moved by Pendulum on Horizontal scale

Go Distance Moved = Length of Plumb Line*tan(Tiltting Angle of Body)

Length of Plumb Line

Go Length of Plumb Line = Distance Moved/tan(Tiltting Angle of Body)

Length of Plumb Line Formula

Length of Plumb Line = Distance Moved/tan(Tiltting Angle of Body)
l = d/tan(θ)

What is meant by distance?

Distance can be represented as the distance moved by the pendulum line in a horizontal direction scale
