The angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of a pyramid is 37 degrees 50' The angle of elevation from a point

183 feet farther back to the top of the pyramid is 18 degrees 10'. Find the height of the pyramid.

Answer:

The height of the pyramid is approximately 104 Ft. See the graphic attached.

Explanation:

First, you have to plot to realize that you have two rectangle triangles, formed by the different elevation points of view. From there you can have a system of two equations, with two unknown values.

Equation (1)

$tan 37^{o}50'= \frac{Ph}{x} \\\\Ph=tan 37^{o}50' x= 0.7766 x$

Equation (2)

$tan 18^{o}10'=\frac{Ph}{x+183} \\\\Ph=[tan 18^{o}10'][x+183]=[0.3281][x+183]$

Matching (1) and (2)

$0.7766 x=0.3281(x+183)\\\\(0.7766-0.3281)x=60.05\\\\x=\frac{60.05}{0.4485} =133.89ft$

replacing x value in (1)

$Ph=0.7766*133.89=103.9789\\Ph = 104 ft$

Given three vectors A = 24i + 33j, B = 55i - 12j and C = 2i + 43j (a) Find the magnitude of each vector. (b) Write an expression

slega [8]

Answer:

(a) , . and .

(b) $\vec A - \vec C=22 \hat i -10 \hat j$ .

(c) $|\vec A - \vec B|=63.13$ and the direction $\theta =$ 124.56°.

Explanation:

Given that,

,

and

$\vec {C}=2 \hat i +43 \hat j$

(a) The magnitude of a vector is the square root of the sum of the square of all the components of the vector, i.e. for a ,.

So, the magnitude of the is

$|\vec A|=\sqrt {24^2+ 33^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A|=\sqrt {1665}$

.

The magnitude of the is

$|\vec B|=\sqrt {55^2+ (-12)^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec B|=\sqrt {3169}$

.

And, the magnitude of the is

$|\vec C|=\sqrt {2^2+ 43^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec C|=\sqrt {1853}$

.

(b) The difference between the two vectors is the difference between the corresponding components of the vectors. So, the required expression of is

$\vec A - \vec C=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j) - (2 \hat i +43 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec C=24 \hat i +33 \hat j - 2 \hat i -43 \hat j$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec C=22 \hat i -10 \hat j$

(c) The expression of is

$\vec A - \vec N=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j) - (55 \hat i -12 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec B=24 \hat i +33 \hat j - 55\hat i +12 \hat j$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec B=-31 \hat i +45 \hat j\;\cdots (i)$

The magnitude of is

$|\vec A - \vec B|=\sqrt {(-31)^2+55^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A - \vec B|=\sqrt {3986}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A - \vec B|=63.13$

Now, if a vector $\vec V= -\alpha \hat i +\beta \hat j$ in 3rd quadrant having direction $\theta$ with respect to $\hat i$ direction, than

in the anti-clockwise direction.

Here, from equation (i), for the vector $\vec A - \vec C$ , $\alpha=31$ and $\beta=45$ .

$\Rightarrow \theta = \pi-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac {45}{31}\right)$

180°-55.44° [as \pi radian= 180°]

124.56° in the anti-clockwise direction.

(d) Vector diagrams for $\vec A +\vec B$ and $\vec A - \vec B$ has been shown

in the figure(b) and figure(c) recpectively.

Vector $\vec A - \vec B$ is in 3rd quadrant as calculated in part (c).

While Vector $\vec A +\vec B=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j)+(55 \hat i -12 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A +\vec B=79 \hat i +21 \hat j$ , which is in 1st quadrant as both the components are position has been shown in figure(b).
