Slant Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slant Length = Effective Path Length/Reduction Factor
L_slant = L_eff/r_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slant Length - (Measured in Meter) - Slant Length refers to the length of path followed by the radio wave signal as it travels from the transmitting satellite to the receiving satellite ground station.
Effective Path Length - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Path Length refers to the total distance that a radio signal travels between a transmitter and a receiver, taking into account the effects of multipath propagation.
Reduction Factor - The reduction factor represents the factor by which the effective path length is reduced compared to the straight-line distance between the observer and the satellite.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Effective Path Length: 12 Kilometer --> 12000 Meter (Check conversion here)
Reduction Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_slant = L_eff/r_p --> 12000/0.85

Evaluating ... ...

L_slant = 14117.6470588235

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14117.6470588235 Meter -->14.1176470588235 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.1176470588235 ≈ 14.11765 Kilometer <-- Slant Length

Slant Length Formula

LaTeX Go

Slant Length = Effective Path Length/Reduction Factor
L_slant = L_eff/r_p

Why reduction factor is used?

The strength reduction factor is used to decrease the estimated strength of structural members, i.e., to compute the design strength of concrete elements. It is used to account for uncertainties in materials, possible design, and construction errors.

How to Calculate Slant Length?

Slant Length calculator uses Slant Length = Effective Path Length/Reduction Factor to calculate the Slant Length, The Slant Length formula is defined as the distance measured along a lateral face from the base to the apex. Slant Length is denoted by L_slant symbol.
