Displacement to Length Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Displacement to Length Ratio.
DLR = D / L * 100
- Where DLR is the Displacement to Length Ratio (%)
- D is the total displacement
- L is the total length
How to Calculate Displacement to Length Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Displacement to Length Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total displacement.
- The total displacement is given as: 3.
- Next, determine the total length.
- The total length is provided as: 6.
- Finally, calculate the Displacement to Length Ratio using the equation above:
DLR = D / L * 100
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
DLR = 3 / 6 * 100 = 50 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total displacement = 8
total length = 9
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
DLR = D / L * 100 = ?
