Hammock Height Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Hammock Height (\(H\)):

\[ H = L \times \cos\left(\frac{a}{57.2958}\right) \]

Where:

\(H\) is the Height of the Hammock from the Ground (meters)
\(L\) is the Length of the Hammock (meters)
\(a\) is the Angle of the Hammock Suspension Cord with the Horizontal (degrees)

What is Hammock Height?

A hammock height refers to the optimal distance from the ground at which a hammock should be hung. This height is typically around 18 inches, or the average height of a chair, to allow for easy access and comfort.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Length of Hammock (\(L\)) = 3 meters
Angle of Suspension Cord (\(a\)) = 30 degrees

Using the formula:

\[ H = 3 \times \cos\left(\frac{30}{57.2958}\right) \approx 2.60 \text{ meters} \]

The Hammock Height is approximately 2.60 meters.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Length of Hammock (\(L\)) = 4 meters
Angle of Suspension Cord (\(a\)) = 45 degrees

Using the formula:

\[ H = 4 \times \cos\left(\frac{45}{57.2958}\right) \approx 2.83 \text{ meters} \]

The Hammock Height is approximately 2.83 meters.
