The angle of inclination of a road is often expressed as percent grade, which is the vertical rise divided by the horizontal run (expressed as a percent). See Fig. 4.54. A 6.0% grade corresponds to a road that rises 6.0 ft for every 100 ft along the horizontal. Find the angle of inclination that corresponds to a 6.0% grade.
