The most efficient operating angle for a certain conveyor belt is 31 degree. If the parts must be moved a vertical distance of 16 ft, what length of conveyor is needed? Round to the nearest tenth.
\n" ); document.write( "Drawing given is a triangle: Right angle 16' opposite side 31 degree angle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The length of the conveyor is the hypotenuse (h),
\n" ); document.write( "therefore we can use the sine of 31 degrees (side opposite over hypotenuse):
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "sin(31) = \"16%2Fh\"
\n" ); document.write( ".515 = \"16%2Fh\"
\n" ); document.write( ".515h = 16
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"16%2F.515\"
\n" ); document.write( "h = 31.1 ft\r
