Swing Radius Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Swing Radius (R) is:

\[ \text{R} = \text{L} \times \sin(\theta) \]

Where:

Swing Radius (R): The horizontal distance from the pivot point of a swing to the farthest point reached by the swing.
Length of Rope or Chain (L): The length of the rope or chain used in the swing.
Angle from Vertical (θ): The angle between the rope or chain and the vertical line.

Let's say the length of the rope or chain (L) is 5 meters and the angle from vertical (θ) is 30 degrees. Using the formula:

\[ \text{R} = 5 \times \sin(30^\circ) = 5 \times 0.5 = 2.5 \text{ meters} \]

So, the swing radius is 2.5 meters.
