How to calculate end rotation for a truss
(OP)
I am trying to calculate the end rotation of a truss for pot bearings. What units should my deflections and lengths be in?

What exactly stops it from rotating?
psuarcher,
Radians are dimensionless so as long as you use consistent units throughout you will be fine.
If in doubt, put your units into the formula and see what it comes out as.

So then you have to decide where the rotation actually occurs....is it over the bearing surface (not likely) or is it just off the bearing surface?
