I need to make "r" the subject of this equation, but whatever I try I get a ridiculously small number. If anybody could walk me through exactly how to rearrange it, describing why they do each step I would be hugely grateful
$\frac{(sin(\theta))}{(cos(\theta))} = \frac{(220^2)}{g*r}$
You might like to simplify things a little by rewriting the right-hand side as $\tan\theta$. Multiplying both sides by $r/\tan\theta$ then gives $r=48400/(g\tan\theta)$.
