The formula to calculate the Length-To-Diameter Ratio (LDR) is:
\[ \text{LDR} = \frac{L}{D} \]
Where:
Length-To-Diameter Ratio (LDR) is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of the total length of an object to its total diameter.
It is commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to describe the elongation or aspect ratio of cylindrical or tubular objects.
Suppose you have a cylindrical rod with a total length of 30 inches and a total diameter of 2 inches.
To find the Length-To-Diameter Ratio (LDR):
\[ \text{LDR} = \frac{30 \, \text{in}}{2 \, \text{in}} = 15 \]
Therefore, the Length-To-Diameter Ratio (LDR) is 15 in/in.
