Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of concrete pilling, m = 50 kg
Diameter of wire, d = 1 mm
Radius of wire, r = 0.0005 m
Length of wire, L = 11.2
Young modulus of steel,
The young modulus of a wire is given by :
So, the wire will stretch 0.034 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the height of the ladder be L
Also:
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>
