Radial force related to axial load - Cementing

Input(s)

F: Force or Load to Break Cement Bond (lbm)

$\alpha$: Slip Bowl Taper Angle (degree)

$\mu$: Constant (Usually 0.2) (dimensionless)

Output(s)

$W$: Radial Force related to Axial Load (lbm)

Formula(s)

$$ W=\frac{1-(\mu \cdot \tan \alpha)}{\mu+\tan \alpha} \cdot F $$
