3.04-(0.3/2tanB) where B=30%

 

It is a formula on an engineering drawing we have been sent. (for information)

I believe you must mean "30° "  rather than "30%"

 

So we have

 

3.04 -  [ (.3/2) * tan (30°) ]  =

 

3,04 - [ .15 * (1 / √3 ) ]  =

 

3.04  -  [ .15 √3 / 3  ] =

 

3.04  -  .05 √3  ≈  2.9534

Thank you.

Yes it is degree, not percent blush

 

We get an answer sililar to that, but it makes no sense on the drawing we have been sent.  

We just needed to make sure we weren't missing something.

 

Thank you very much. (I think this site might be a good find.....i'll bookmark it straight away cool)

I wonder if it's supposed to be

 

3.04 -  [ .3 /  (2 * tan (30°) ) ]    =   2.78

Thats the answer we got.

It's one of those technical drawings that is WAAYYYYY over spec'd, with tolerances that are also way over spec'd

 

Thanks again for your help
