A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 90 meters above the road surf

ace and are 800 meters apart. The cables are parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the cables at a point 200 meters from the center. ​ (Assume that the road is​ level.) The height of the cables is nothing meters.

Answer:

y=22.5 m

Explanation:

Given that

P (800 , 90)

Shape is parabolic

When x= 200 m we have to find the values of y

We know that equation of parabola

y = a x²

At x= 400 m y= 90 m   ( 400 distance from center)

So

90 = 400² a     ( 400 distance from center)

a=90/400² = 90/(160000)

y = a x²

y = 90/(160000) x²

When x= 200 m

y = (90 x  200² )/(160000)

y= 90 x 40000/(160000)

y= 90 x 4/(16)

y=22.5 m

svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

daser333 [38]

Answer: D

1200

Explanation:

Song 1 is spotted with a cube sign.

At 3 minute, trace the spot to the vertical axis. And you will notice that it a little bit above 10.

Since it is above 10, let assume it is equal to 12.

The number of song downloaded are in hundreds. Therefore, multiply the 12 by 100

12 × 100 = 1200 downloads

Approximately, song 1 has 1200 downloads at minute 3
