Efficiency of Inclined Plane when Effort Applied Horizontally to Move Body Downward Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of Inclined Plane = tan(Angle of Inclination of Plane to Horizontal-Limiting Angle of Friction)/tan(Angle of Inclination of Plane to Horizontal)
η = tan(α_i-Φ)/tan(α_i)
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

Efficiency of Inclined Plane - Efficiency of Inclined Plane tells us what fraction of the input energy (kinetic energy) does useful work (lifting).
Angle of Inclination of Plane to Horizontal - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination of Plane to Horizontal is formed by the inclination of one plane to another measured in degrees or radians.
Limiting Angle of Friction - (Measured in Radian) - The Limiting Angle of Friction is defined as the angle which the resultant reaction (R) makes with the normal reaction (RN).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angle of Inclination of Plane to Horizontal: 23 Degree --> 0.40142572795862 Radian (Check conversion here)
Limiting Angle of Friction: 2 Degree --> 0.03490658503988 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = tan(α_i-Φ)/tan(α_i) --> tan(0.40142572795862-0.03490658503988)/tan(0.40142572795862)

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.90432699509284

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.90432699509284 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.90432699509284 ≈ 0.904327 <-- Efficiency of Inclined Plane
