Hello All,
Long time reader of control booth but this is my first post. I am attempting to build a curved ramp for an upcoming production and need to calculate the angle that the ramp is on.
First and foremost, I want to make sure the ramp will be safe and walkable, but also need to make sure it will fit in the space. The upper platform that the ramp is going to is 6' tall and the ramp will be starting at ground level. My earlier calculations were that I need a 24' ramp, but my thought is that if the ramp is curved i get a long distance than a straight ramp. This may not be true but thats why I am here to find out.
Any ideas on how to calculate the angle of a curved ramp would be most help. Also if you have any other comments feel free to post them!
