The base diameter of a conical helix is 120 mm and other end diameter is 70 mm. The height of helix is 40 mm. What is the angle between the base and slanting side is?
The base diameter of a conical helix is 120 mm and other end diameter is 70 mm. The height of helix is 40 mm. What is the angle between the base and slanting side is? Correct Answer 58 degrees
Base radius= 60 mm. Other end radius = 35 mm. 60 mm– 35mm = 25 mm. height is 40 mm. tan (angle) = height/ base radius = 40 mm/25 mm = 1.6. Angle = tan-1(1.6) = 57.99 degrees approximately equals to 58 degrees.
