In 1784, Benjamin Franklin made what may have been the first connection between volcanoes and global climate while stationed in Paris as the first diplomatic representative of the United States of America. He observed that during the summer of 1783, the climate was abnormally cold, both in Europe and back in the U.S. The ground froze early, the first snow stayed on the ground without melting, the winter was more severe than usual, and there seemed to be "a constant fog over all Europe, and [a] great part of North America."
I HOPE THAR HELPS IF NOT IM SORRY:(
Answer:
Option (a) is the correct answer
Explanation:
Option (a) smaller than P is the correct answer for the given question. This is because the pressure (P) at any depth 'd' from the top surface of the water with density (ρ) is given as:
P = ρ × g × d
where,
g is the acceleration due to the gravity
thus from the above equation it can be concluded that the pressure at any depth 'd' is directly proportional to the density of the water.
thus,
in the given case the density of the water is lower than that in the first case.
Hence, the option (a) is the correct answer
complete question:
An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
