An architect was asked to build a special staircase in a new building. The staircase will be built like a helix that rotates aro

und the outside of a cylindrical waterfall. Because it is a helix, the beginning of the staircase begins at a point directly above the position where the staircase ends at the bottom base of the column. Describe how to find the length of the staircase if the cylinder it surrounds is 30 m in height and has a radius of 12 m

Answer:

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m (See explanation below).

Step-by-step explanation:

Each floor has a height of 3 meters. Then, the number of floors of the cylinder is:

n = \frac{30\,m}{3\,m}

n = 10\,floors

Let consider that spiral makes a revolution per floor. Then, the parametric equations of the spiral are:

x = r\cdot \cos \theta

y = r\cdot \sin \theta

z = \Delta h \cdot \frac{\theta}{2\pi}

Length of the staircase can be modelled by using the formula for arc length:

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{d\theta} \right) ^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{d\theta} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dz}{d\theta}\right)^{2}}} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(-r\cdot \sin \theta\right)^{2}+\left(r\cdot \cos \theta\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\Delta h}{2\pi} \right)^{2}} } \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{r^{2}+\frac{(\Delta h)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \sqrt{(12\,m)^{2}+\frac{(3\,m)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } \cdot (20\pi-0)

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m

A school dance committee is made up of 2 freshman, 4 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 2 seniors.
qaws [65]

Answer:

4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 different grades represented, so for the first question, there are 4 ways that the students can sit if they must sit together by grade.

For the second question, there are 3 grades other than senior level, so it starts with 3 ways that the students can be seated. 3 ways x 2 students per way = 6 ways

A camera costs 115 Canadian Dollars. If each Canadian dollar is worth 0.952 U.S Dollars, how much would the camera cost in U.S D
PIT_PIT [208]
This is truly a simple, one-step equation if looked at in the right angle.

You're going to want to multiply 115 by .952:

       115
<u>   x .952
</u>       230
+   6050
<u>+ 93500
</u>  109.48

$109.48 is your final answer.
