Answer:

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

A guy wire for a tree is 20 ft. long, making a 21 degree angle with the ground.

It forms a right angle triangle. the hypotenuse of the triangle is 20 ft

The adjacent side of the given angle 21 degree is the base of the tree from a stake

Let x be the base length

cos(theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos(21)=\frac{x}{20}

20cos(21)=x

x=18.7

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

A weight attached to a spring is at its lowest point, 9 inches below equilibrium, at time t = 0 seconds. When the weight it rele
a_sh-v [17]
The motion can be modeled as
x(t) =9 \, cos( \frac{2 \pi t}{T} )
where 
x = the position below the equilibrium position
T =  the period of the motion
t = time

The weight returns to its equilibrium position when x = 0. 
This occurs when
\frac{2 \pi t}{T} = \frac{ \pi }{2}
That is,
t= \frac{T}{4}

Because the weight returns to the equilibrium position when t =  3 s, therefore
T = 12 s
The motion is
x(t) = 9 \, cos( \frac{ \pi t}{6} )

When t = 1 s, the position of the weight from equilibrium is
d = 9 \, cos( \frac{ \pi }{6} ) = 9( \frac{1}{2} ) = 4.5 \, in

Answer:
d = 9 \, cos( \frac{ \pi }{6} ) = 4.5 \, in
