Default RE: ENGINE OFFSET VS THRUST FORMULAS

One way is to use trigonometry. If the distance from the back of the engine drive washer to the back of the motor mount is 4'', and the offset angle is 2 degrees, Sin (2d)=(offset distance)/4'', or offset distance=4''*sin(2d)

Another way is to do it graphicaly like the illustration below.
