Finding the slope of a ramp Math Lessons 

Dean Wood Thanks for the kind words.

you are welcome

Under appreciated comment from 😂

Same.

Al E Gator if that’s the spec that’s what it costs. I don’t see the problem.

@@theintegrator the problem is my ramp is longer than my shed and imma have to tear art of my neighbors house down lol

​@@benernst2764but that's what it has to be.

Wow, so a three foot rise would require a 36' ramp?

@@jbmagee100 You're right, that's nuts!

Don't listen to hear she's wrong!

Jack, remember these are ADA standards, which are for wheelchair users, so it may be overkill for a simple shed ramp.

Nicholas Scott 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒 very good thank

Sorry for the mistake.

@@MooMooMath also. Being a 1:12 ratio it equals 1in:1ft. So whatever your height is in inches. The ramp length is the same number of feet. No formula required.

Thanks arshad ahmed for the kind words Hope the video helped.

Thanks

Thanks yes just leave a request in the comment section and I will create a video as soon as I can.

I would like to see a tutorial on, how to determine the pitch of a roof.

yes, that is what she did but with in more steps

TheMongo1357 Apparently not hers neither

Shawnie - if this is a legit question you need a 16”h X 16’ L X W... how wide do you want it is the deciding factor for the complete dimension. The slope in percentage is 8.33, the slope in degrees is 4.86 degrees... close enough to 5 degrees of a slope for your ramp, if my calculations are correct, which I’m pretty certain they are, because I’m not using “new math”.

Yes, but carefully. There's a difference between frogs and toads. Also coffee is better hot.

@@kimi3543 what???

Turbo Productions She changed her problem to 30 inches instead the 32 inches which she said at first.

3'/22' 3 feet divided by 22 feet. slope isn't a length, and slop is fed to hogs

@@edr6990 Hahahaha

Faith Ingrid Caylan the question on a vehicle ramp is what is the intended purpose of the ramp. If you want to vault a car a certain distance there is a mathematical equation specifically for this it is called the “vault” formula. I used it to determine minimum speeds vehicles were traveling in fatality traffic accident investigations. The great thing about this formula, is you can plug in the known numbers to find an answer of an unknown. You can move the numbers around in a formula to answer a vast array of questions to vault a car. E.G. I want to vault a car xx feet... the given number is what is the total weight of car, from there you have to plug in the number estimates such as terminal speed at the point the car leaves the ramp, what percentage of the slope of the ramp will I need to attain the distance at the given speed, in order to determine this, you will first need to determine the horizontal distance of the ramp and the height of the ramp, a steep angle will transfer the energy of the vehicle as it hits the ramp, flexing the ramp and loading (compressing) the suspension up, and at an unwanted point the suspension will unload causing the vehicle to pre-vault (or get light) and begin oscillating. Too long of a ramp and the vehicle will travel less distance by the applied physics of gravity, loss of horizontal momentum directly losing the vertical lift, equivalent to driving off a cliff... I went a long way around the barn to say there are a lot more calculations needed, just based on what the intent of the ramp is used for to determine what the proper transition angles would be for the designed purpose of the ramp.

The deck y'all

OK
