Back Rake Angle Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Back Rake Angle?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

α b = a \tan ((\cos (λ) \cdot \tan (α)) + (\sin (λ) \cdot \tan (𝒊)))

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

α b = a \tan ((\cos (15°) \cdot \tan (37°)) + (\sin (15°) \cdot \tan (2°)))

Next Step Convert Units

∴

α b = a \tan ((\cos (0.2618rad) \cdot \tan (0.6458rad)) + (\sin (0.2618rad) \cdot \tan (0.0349rad)))

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

α b = a \tan ((\cos (0.2618) \cdot \tan (0.6458)) + (\sin (0.2618) \cdot \tan (0.0349)))

Next Step Evaluate

∴

α b = 0.635074288150182rad

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

α b = 36.3870763882874°

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

α b = 36.3871°
