Flop factor Too much trail will cause the front wheel of a motorcycle to turn more than expected (flop over) when the handlebars are rotated away from the straight ahead position. This is why choppers can be different to control. The formula

F = T sin θ cos θ

gives the flop factor F as a function of the trail T and the head angle θ. Find the flop factor for a motorcycle with a head angle of 39° and a trail of 10 inches.
