Is this a vertical ladder? Another contributor's answer:Providing that the slide is on level ground and that the ladder is vertical then you have the outline of a right angle triangle with an hypotenuse (the slide) of 3 metres and an adjacent angle of 40 degrees. To find the height of the opposite (the ladder) side of the triangle use the trigonometrical sine ratio: sine = opposite/hypotenuse When the ratio is rearranged: opposite = hypotenuse*sine opposite = 3*sine 40 degrees = 1.928362829 metres So the height of the ladder needs to be nearly 2 metres high.

What is the correct angle for a slide?
40 Degrees is the most common Angle to set slides at.
What is angle of friction?
The angle of friction is defined as the angle of a plane where a body placed on the plane will start to slide.
If a 25 foot ladder is leaning against a housemand it has a base of 9 feet from the house. The ladder is moved 6 more feet from the house how far will the ladder slide down the house?
By Pythagoras, if the initial height of the ladder is H1 feet, then 252 = H12 + 92 so H12 = 252 - 92 = 544 so that H1 = 23.32 ft. After the move, the base of the ladder is 15 ft from the wall. If the height now is H2 feet, then 252 = H22 + 152 so H22 = 252 - 152 = 400 so that H2 = 20 ft. So the ladder will slide down 3.32 ft or 3 ft 3.9 inches, approx.
If a slide went vertical for 100 meters then horizontal for 10 and vertical again for another 90 meters would you survive or be flung off at the 10 meter horizontal?
Yes.
What is a inclined plane and example?
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
What is the correct angle for a slide?
40 Degrees is the most common Angle to set slides at.
A water slide is 26feet high the angle between the slide and the water is 33.5 degrees what is the length of the slide?
length of the slide= 47.10 feet
What is the angle at which loose material will not slide down a slope?
90 degrees
What is the coefficient of friction between a playground slide and a child if the child accelerates down the slide at 1.16 meters per second squared and the slide is inclined 31 degrees?

When kickflipping do you slide your foot staright up or at an angle?
You slide it at an angle.
A water slide is 26 feet high The angle between the slide and the water is 33.5 degrees What is the length of the slide?
Sin(33.5) = 26/Length so Length = 26/sin(33.5) = 47.1 ft, approx.
A water slide is a straight ramp 25 m longthat starts from the top of a tower 21 m high what is the angle the slide forms with the tower?
This would be the arccos(21/25), which is 32.859880378889108736588042568 degrees! lol
What is the Angle of repose of gypsum?
1) angle of rest: 2) The angle between the horizontal and the plane of contact between two bodies when the upper body is just about to slide over the lower. Also known as angle of friction.
What happens if the slide ladder does not work for the GCF and LCM?
you have to use a factor tree
What is angle of friction?
The angle of friction is defined as the angle of a plane where a body placed on the plane will start to slide.
A ladder is leaning against a wall if you were going to climb the ladder are you better off if there is no friction between the ladder and the wall or ladder and the floor?
No. if the floor is smooth you must have friction between the ladder and the floor, or the ladder would just slide away. Technically you could do without friction between wall and ladder, but even that can be helpful in preventing the ladder from going sideways.
What simple machine do you use to get up a slide?
a small crane made of pulleies and rope
