A train is chugging up a hill that has a 27 percent grade, which means that for every 100 meters it covers horizontally, it rises 27 meters. What is the angle of inclination?

If you sketch the picture for yourself, you'll see that the 27% ... or 0.27 ... is the tangent of the angle between the horizontal and the slope. With your calculator, you can find the angle whose tangent is 0.27 . It's about 15.1 degrees.

Answer:

[tex]\theta = 15.11 degree[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data:

Grade of raising is 27 %

Since rising grade is 27% therefore it have 27 units for 100 unit distance

I =  100 units,

h =  27 units

angle of inclination is determined as

[tex]tan\theta = \frac{I}{h}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1}\frac{27}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 15.11 degree[/tex]
