Answer:
The rate of current is 2.5 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.
If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.
Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as
⇒
⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²
⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0
Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write
(Neglecting the negative root)
⇒ mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
Answer: Longest distance she could measure is 70 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the longest distance from one side to other across the center we have to find the diameter of the lampshade.
As it is given that the distance around the lampshade is 219.8 mm which is equal to the circumference of the lampshade.
Circumference of the lampshade is πD, where D is the diameter of the lampshade
where the value of π=3.14
Divide both sides by 3.14 we get
on solving we get
