The parametric region where this solution is valid is:  0, 60º  ; x/W  0.4, 0.75 mm  ; y/W  0, 0.167  . This solution has an average difference of 10.8 % relatively to the numerical values. This average was once again calculated using the absolute values of the differences. This difference is relatively high, however it is mainly a consequence of odd results obtained for a reduced number of the predictions.
