  2. Angle of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_Climb

    The angle of climb can be defined as the angle between a horizontal plane representing the Earth's surface, and the actual flight path followed by the aircraft during its ascent. The speed of an aircraft type at which the angle of climb is largest is called V X. It is always slower than V Y, the speed for the best rate of climb. As the latter ...

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

    The wall itself has a height of 15000 mm and consists of two lanes, each 3000 mm wide, with a distance of 0 to 1000 mm from each other. The wall stands on a 200 mm socle and must continue 500 mm above the finish button, i.e. above the 15 m. The wall must overhang continuously with an angle of 5°.

    Competition speed climbing as governed by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) takes place on 15-metre (49 ft) artificial walls. Competitors climb a 5-degree overhanging IFSC-certified wall, with an auto-belaying system from the top of the wall. [3] Since 2007 the IFSC has created a standard wall for the world record.

    At a V-angle of 30 degrees, each of the two anchors will bear a force of about 52% of the original load. At 45 degrees, each anchor bears 54% of the load. At 60 degrees, each anchor bears 58% of the load. At 90 degrees, each anchor bears 71% of the load. At 120 degrees, each anchor bears a force equivalent to 100% of the original load.
