Calculate Sling Angle (SA)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Sling Angle (SA) is:

\[ SA = \arccos\left(\frac{H}{L}\right) \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the height of the sling (\( H \)) is 3 meters and the length of the sling (\( L \)) is 5 meters. Using the formula:

\[ SA = \arccos\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) \]

We get:

\[ SA = \arccos(0.6) \approx 53.13 \text{ degrees} \]

So, the Sling Angle (\( SA \)) is approximately 53.13 degrees.

What is a Sling Angle?

A sling angle is a measure of the angle between the centerline of a sling and the length of either side of the sling. It is important for ensuring the proper and safe use of slings in lifting operations.
