Ratio of Length of Arm to Length of Link Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ratio of Length of Link to Length of Arm = tan(Angle of Inclination of Link to Vertical)/tan(Angle of Inclination of Arm to Vertical)
q = tan(β)/tan(α)
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

Ratio of Length of Link to Length of Arm - Ratio of Length of Link to Length of Arm is the proportion of the length of the link to the length of the arm in a governor mechanism.
Angle of Inclination of Link to Vertical - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination of Link to Vertical is the angle at which the link of a governor is inclined to the vertical axis of the rotating shaft.
Angle of Inclination of Arm to Vertical - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination of Arm to Vertical is the angle at which the arm of a governor is inclined to the vertical direction during its operation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angle of Inclination of Link to Vertical: 35 Degree --> 0.610865238197901 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination of Arm to Vertical: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q = tan(β)/tan(α) --> tan(0.610865238197901)/tan(0.785398163397301)

Evaluating ... ...

q = 0.700207538209746

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.700207538209746 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.700207538209746 ≈ 0.700208 <-- Ratio of Length of Link to Length of Arm
