Referring to the picture.... deflection/chord=sine angle
Continuing on:

angle = arcsin (deflection/chord)

Arcsin is usually Inv-Sin on a calculator. Just make sure you've got it set for degrees (the default is often radians, 360 degrees = 2 * Pi Radians)

I've been waiting 26 years to use some trig.
