Thrust Angle for Unaccelerated Level Flight for given Drag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust Angle = acos(Drag Force/Thrust)
σ_T = acos(F_D/T)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
acos - The inverse cosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function. It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio., acos(Number)

Variables Used

Thrust Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Thrust Angle is defined as the angle between thrust vector and flight path (or flight velocity) direction.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - The Thrust of an aircraft is defined as the force generated through propulsion engines that move an aircraft through the air.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 99.99 Newton --> 99.99 Newton No Conversion Required
Thrust: 100 Newton --> 100 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_T = acos(F_D/T) --> acos(99.99/100)

Evaluating ... ...

σ_T = 0.0141422534775199

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0141422534775199 Radian --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0141422534775199 ≈ 0.014142 Radian <-- Thrust Angle
