Answer: option C. 43.9°
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram. The tension in the two strings is equal T₁=T₂=T = 3 N
The strings support a frame weighing, W= 4.26 N
We will write the tension in the strings as the sum of their horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal components balance each other and cancel out.
T₁ cos θ = T₂ cos θ
On the other hand, The vertical component would support the weight of the frame.
2 T sin θ = W
2 × 3 N × sin θ = 4.16 N
sin θ = 0.693
⇒ θ = sin ⁻¹(0.693) = 43.9°
Hence, the angle made by two wires with the horizontal is 43.9°.

Answer:
Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
Explanation:
v = velocity of rocket at time t
g = Acceleration due to gravity =
= Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.
m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg
r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s
Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v
t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'
Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:
Height of the rocket = h
Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
