Question for a math whiz. I'm fairly good at math but I can't remember how to determine the following geometry problem.
I built a custom throttle quadrant and want to determine mathematically where the location up the throttle lever arm that would give me 2" of cable travel. Lets say the stops are on a 4" radius from the throttle arm pivot. How do I determine the distance from the pivot hole to get exactly 2" of cable travel? Width of the arm is 1/2". The stops are 1/4" in diameter.
