Hammock Hang Angle Calculator

Calculate Hang Angle





Formula

The formula to calculate the hang angle (θ) is:

\[ \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{H_a - H_h}{D}\right) \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the height of the attachment points (H_a) is 2 meters, the height of the hammock (H_h) is 1 meter, and the distance between attachment points (D) is 3 meters. Using the formula:

\[ \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{2 - 1}{3}\right) \]

We get:

\[ \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \approx 18.43 \, \text{degrees} \]

So, the hang angle is approximately 18.43 degrees.
