∴

H = \frac{4 \cdot 0.3kN/m² \cdot \sin (\frac{64° \cdot π}{180}) \cdot \cos (\frac{12.33° \cdot π}{180})}{18kN/m³ \cdot (1 - \cos (\frac{(64° - 12.33°) \cdot π}{180}))}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

H = \frac{4 \cdot 0.3kN/m² \cdot \sin (\frac{64° \cdot 3.1416}{180}) \cdot \cos (\frac{12.33° \cdot 3.1416}{180})}{18kN/m³ \cdot (1 - \cos (\frac{(64° - 12.33°) \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

H = \frac{4 \cdot 300Pa \cdot \sin (\frac{1.117rad \cdot 3.1416}{180}) \cdot \cos (\frac{0.2152rad \cdot 3.1416}{180})}{18000N/m³ \cdot (1 - \cos (\frac{(1.117rad - 0.2152rad) \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

H = \frac{4 \cdot 300 \cdot \sin (\frac{1.117 \cdot 3.1416}{180}) \cdot \cos (\frac{0.2152 \cdot 3.1416}{180})}{18000 \cdot (1 - \cos (\frac{(1.117 - 0.2152) \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

H = 10.4921730217593m

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

H = 10.4922m
