Chapter 8: Q. 50 (page 517)

Find the distance from A to C across the pond illustrated in the figure.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance from A to C isAC=83.909963.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given that the figure is

02

Solution

Suppose that the distance from A to C is x.

Now, from the figure BC is 100ftand angle B is 40°.

So,

role="math" localid="1646410435742" tan(40°)=ACBCtan(40°)×BC=ACtan(40°)×100=xx=0.83909963×100x=83.909963

Designing an Awning An awning that covers a sliding glass door that is 88 inches tall forms an angle of 50° with the wall. The purpose of the awning is to prevent sunlight from entering the house when the angle of elevation of the Sun is more than 65°. See the figure. Find the length L of the awning.

an object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down a distance a from its rest position and then released. Assuming that the motion is simple harmonic with period T, write an equation that relates the displacement d of the object from its rest position after t seconds. Also assume that the positive direction of the motion is up:
