A fence 8 ft high (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft (d) from it. Find the length (L) of the shortest ladder t

AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

$Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2$

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}$

$L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2$ ........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

$\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}$

BC = $\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}$ .................2

Substitute 2 into 1

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2$ + $(24 + AE)^2$

Let AE = x

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

= $(8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

Minimize L with respect to x.

2 $\frac{dL}{dx}$ = $2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)$

3. What is the mass of a paratrooper who experiences an air resistance of 400 N and an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2

goblinko [34]

Answer:

88.89kg

Explanation:

The formula for mass is m=F/a. If we plug in the values, we get m=400N/4.5m/s^2. The mass is 88.89kg. We know that the unit is in kg because one newton (N) is 1kg*m/s^2. The m/s^2 is cancelled out by the acceleration, and we are left with kg.

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear

Mandarinka [93]

We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1) Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8 = 7058 kms Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2 Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9 = 9019 kms Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.
