eytelwein.belt_conveyor_design.core.design_layout_of_drive_system.angle_of_inclination_from_height_difference_and_section_length(height_difference: Quantity, section_length: Quantity, unit: str = 'radian', precision: int = 3) → Quantity

Calculate the angle of inclination from the height difference and section length.

This function calculates the angle of inclination of a conveyor section based on its height difference and section length using the formula:

α = arcsin(H / L)

Where: - α is the angle of inclination - H is the height difference - L is the section length

Parameters:

• height_difference (Quantity) – The vertical height difference of the conveyor section (typically in meters).

• section_length (Quantity) – The length of the conveyor section (typically in meters).

• unit (str, optional) – The desired unit for the output angle. Default is “radian”. Common alternatives are “degree”.

• precision (int, optional) – The number of decimal places for the result. Default is 3.

Returns:

The calculated angle of inclination with the specified unit.

Return type:

Quantity

Raises:

ValueError – If there is an error in converting units: {e} If the section length is negative or zero. If the height difference is greater than the section length in magnitude.

Returns:

The calculated height difference with the specified unit.

Return type:

Quantity

Raises:

ValueError – If there is an error in converting units: {e} If the section length is negative.
