What is the height of the Ramp bricks?

Author Topic: What is the height of the Ramp bricks?  (Read 2684 times)

I am trying to find out the size of all of the 25, 45, 72, and 80 degree ramps. Is there a formula that Badspot used to discover how he got this size or is that just what it came out to be? I remember a while ago someone told me that to find this I would look in the BLB file and it would be 1.5, is there a formula for this?. Another thing someone else told me is that it won't be 100% accurate because of that little part on the bottom.




Why do you need this information? Just a friendly question.

Im just working on something to test my abilities, could you help me?

Pythagorean theorem?
a2 + b2 = c2

Pythagorean theorem?
a2 + b2 = c2
There's a lip on the bottom of the edge

Pythagorean theorem?
a2 + b2 = c2
Um no I dont want to figure out the hypotenuse, I want to find the actual of height of the ramp when it starts to go down which I believe is 1.5 if the BLB script is right but I am not sure, I also want to know if there is a formula badspot used to discover this.

Pythagorean theorem?
a2 + b2 = c2
wouldnt work because:
There's a lip on the bottom of the edge
and not enough info anyway

Simple math.


The tallest height of the brick, times 2x, divided by 2.

Let height: h

2xh/2

What? You tell me to do "The tallest height of the brick, times 2x, divided by 2." which i understand, then you say let H stand for height, then you give me 2xh/2, what is that? is X what you told me before or is it to multiply? Give me an example please

The "let" term defines a variable for something, such as the tallest height.

h=tallest height

2x*h / 2

Two x times h is then divided by two.

x=2 h=3

4*3 / 2

12/2

I am stupid, this is the area formula. Try someone else :(.

I'm pretty sure that the lip of all ramps are the same.  It's actually pretty easy to figure out the size with some trig.

Take the 25 degree ramp.

First, we need to find the hypotenuse of the ramp, because the lip messes it up.

The 45 degree has a triangle length of 1 brick.

Here is the formula:

Cosθ=a/h

Let a=the length of the ramp (here it is 1)
Let h=the hypotenuse
Let θ=the angle of the ramp.

.:
Cos(45)=(1)/h
1/cos(45)=h
H~1.414 brick lengths long

Now, we find the height of the ramp triangle, unfortunately in brick lengths, not height.  We need to figure out the conversion factor for that.

Here is the formula:

Sinθ=o/h

Let o=the height of the ramp triangle
Let h=the hypotenuse of the ramp triangle
Let θ=the angle of the ramp

.:

Sin(45) = o/(1.414)
(1.414)sin(45) = o

o = .99984 brick lengths.

Once we figure out the brick length to brick height in plates conversion factor, we cause this formula.

X-(Y*Z) = Q

Where X is the ramp brick's height in plates
Where Y is the height of the ramp Brock's triangle in brick lengths (here it is .99984 Bl)
Where Z is the conversion factor in terms of (Brick Heights in plates per Brick Length; Bh/Bl)
Where Q is the height of the ledge.

Now someone figure out the length-to-height conversion factor.
