What is the rise per foot in inches of a 30 degree slope?
"Rise per run" or something like that is the tangent function. Use your scientific calculator to calculate tan 30. Be sure to set your calculator to degrees first. Then - since you want the result in inches per foot - multiply this tangent by 12.
How do you convert .25 inch per foot into degrees or percent slope?
To convert .25 inch per foot into degrees or percent slope, you first need to determine the rise over the run. In this case, .25 inch per foot is equivalent to a rise of .25 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance (1 foot). To convert this into degrees, you can use the arctangent function: arctan(.25/12) ≈ 1.19 degrees. To convert this into percent slope, you can use the formula: percent slope = (rise / run) x 100. In this case, it would be (.25/12) x 100 ≈ 2.08% slope.
How many inches per foot in a 2 percent slope?
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Okay, okay. So, a 2 percent slope is like 2 inches of rise per 100 inches of run. And since there are 12 inches in a foot, you just divide 100 by 12 to get around 8.3 feet per foot on a 2 percent slope. Math is fun, right?
What is the slope of 60 miles per hour?
60 miles per hour is a measure of speed. It need not have any slope associated with it.
2 percent grade is how much per foot?
2% grade is equal to a 1/4" per foot fall
