Explanation:
Let the height of the ladder be L
Also:
- Let
- Let
When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.
So, we have:
--- Pythagoras Theorem
When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:
Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in
Make the subject
Make y the subject
<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>
Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound
Explanation:
The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:
where
I is the intensity of the wave
r is the distance from the source of the sound
This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source: therefore,
- As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
- As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases
Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.
