A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 65 meters above the road surf

ace and are 1200 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 300 meters from the center. ​ (Assume that the road is​ level.)

Answer:

16.25 m

Explanation:

we know that the equation pf parabola

y=kx^2

from bellow figure the coordinate of parabola is (600,65) that is y=600 and x=65

putting the the value of y and x in the equation of parabola

65=k600^2

k=0.0001805

now the equation is

y=0.0001805x^2

we have to find the value of y at x=300m

so y=0.0001805\times 300^2

y=16.25 m

Two waves meet and overlap. The first wave has an amplitude of 4.6 centimeters and the second wave has an amplitude of 2 centime
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that flows due south uniformly with a speed of
tia_tia [17]

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

v_x = 24sin\theta

v_y = -24cos\theta + 3

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

also we have

t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}

now we have

\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3

96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3

by solving above we got

\theta = 164 degree
