A straight conical surface changes from diameter 60 mm to 40 mm over axial length 100 mm. Define taper as diameter difference/axial length. Define tan(half-angle) as radius difference/axial length. A station is 25 mm from the small end along the axis; diameter varies linearly. No cutting setup is specified.
Calculate the tangent of the geometric half-angle. Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final result to four decimal places if necessary.
