Answer: 86.6ft closer to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the wheel is 200ft

Then the radius, half of the diameter, is: r = 200ft/2 = 100ft.

Initially, the seat is at the same level that the center of the wheel.

And the distance between the center of the wheel and the bottom is the radius.

Then the initial position is at an angle of 0° from the x-axis. (where the (0,0) of this axis coincides with the center of the wheel=

Now, the wheel rotates 60°. (downwards, so we actually could use -60° measuring from the positive x-axis)

And thinking in this as a triangle rectangle, where the opposite angle is 60°, we can calculate the displacement in the vertical direction as:

y = sin(-60°)*R

y = sin(-60°)*100ft = -86.6ft

So the seat is 86.6ft closer to the ground.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer/step-by-step explanation

The soldier at point P lie on a parabola because he determined his position and distances from towns A and B through measurement of the difference in timing (phase) of radio signals received from the two towns.

This analysis of the signal time difference gives the difference in distance of the soldier at P, from the towns.

This process is known as hyperbolic navigation.

These distances of point P from towns A and B is estimated by the soldier at point P, by measuring the delay localizes the receiver to a hyperbolic line on a chart.

Two hyperbolic lines will be drawn by taking timing measurements from the

towns A and B .

Point P will be at the intersection of the lines.

These distances of point P(The soldier's positions) from town A and town B were determined using the timing of the signals received from the two towns, due to the fact that point P was on a certain hyperbola.
