Wheel Flop Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Wheel Flop?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

f = T m \cdot \sin (θ) \cdot \cos (θ)

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

f = 10mm \cdot \sin (30°) \cdot \cos (30°)

Next Step Convert Units

∴

f = 0.01m \cdot \sin (0.5236rad) \cdot \cos (0.5236rad)

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

f = 0.01 \cdot \sin (0.5236) \cdot \cos (0.5236)

Next Step Evaluate

∴

f = 0.00433012701892219m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

f = 4.33012701892219mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

f = 4.3301mm
