Convert hour angle to cycle

Learn how to convert 1 hour angle to cycle step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o u r a n g l e) = x (c y c l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(r a d i a n)

Left side: 1.0 (h o u r a n g l e) = \frac{π}{12.0} (r a d i a n) = \frac{π}{12.0} (r a d)

Right side: 1.0 (c y c l e) = 2.0 \times π (r a d i a n) = 2.0 \times π (r a d)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o u r a n g l e) = x (c y c l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{π}{12.0} \times (r a d i a n) = x \times 2.0 \times π \times (r a d i a n)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{π}{12.0} \cdot (r a d) = x \cdot 2.0 \times π \cdot (r a d)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{π}{12.0} \cdot (r a d) = x \times 2.0 \times π \times (r a d)

Conversion Equation

\frac{π}{12.0} = x \times 2.0 \times π

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{π}{12.0} = x \times π \times 2.0

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{12.0} = x \times 2.0

Switch sides

x \times 2.0 = \frac{1.0}{12.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.0})

x \times 2.0 \times \frac{1.0}{2.0} = \frac{1.0}{12.0} \times \frac{1.0}{2.0}

Cancel

x \times 2.0 \times \frac{1.0}{2.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{12.0 \times 2.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{12.0 \times 2.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0416666667 \approx 4.1667 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o u r a n g l e) \approx 4.1667 \times 10^{- 2} (c y c l e)
