Not in the least. This thread is replete with examples of how to figure it out. You have stated your rise: .3125”. You have stated your desired slope: 10% (otherwise stated as 0.10). All that is needed is to divide the rise by the slope, and you get your run. The answer has already been furnished by others: Three and one-eighths inches. You have also stated your constraint of having only 1.5 inches of room. Divide your rise by your constrained run of 1.5 inches, and you’ll get the 20.8% slope I stated. If you want your ten percent slope, and the inch and a half is all the room you have, you’ll have to get the dock height and warehouse height closer together. By about half.
Well...to be clear as mud again...I have read runs of 1 inch to 3 inches and everywhere in between. That is not everyone agreeing on the same run. But I do appreciate the reply...thnxs.
No, you can figure it out easily. Rise ----- = Grade Run 5/16" ------ = 10 % grade Run 5/16".......10 ------ = ------- Run.........100 Cross product algebra: 10 * Run = 5/16" * 100 10 * Run = 0.3125" * 100 10 * Run = 31.25" .......Run = 3.125" (or 3-1/8")
ok guys...last time...I promise. I have a new question. I have a piece of plastic that measures.026" How many inches is that in n scale ? I am working on the handrails for my ramp.
