Given:

D=165 feet and the frequency of the motion is 1.6 revolutions per minute.

Solution:

The radius is half of the diameter.

The radius of the wheel is 82.5 feet.

T=\frac{1}{1.6} \text{ minutes}

As we know: \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

Substitute the value of T in the above formula.

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{1}{1.6}}\\\omega=3.2\pi

If the center of the wheel is at the origin then for t=0 the rest position is -a.

This can be written as:

h(t)=-a\cos(\omega t)\\h(t)=-82.5cos(32.\pi t)

The actual height of the rider from the ground is:

h(t)=\text{ Initial height from bottom}+\text{ radius}-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)\\h(t)=15+82.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)\\h(t)=97.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)

The required equation is h(t)=97.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t).

Answer:

22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle KJL ≅ Triangle MJL (RHS)

[JL = JL(common), KL = LM(given), angle KLJ = angle MLJ(given)]

we come up to the conclusion that 4x + 6 = 3x + 10

x = 4

∴angle KJL = 4(4) + 6 = 22°

Michelle and matthew bake carrot cake at their bakery. For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:

= 9/6

= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot

For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.

If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:

= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot

= 21 cups of shredded carrot
