Altitudes AA1 and BB1 are drawn in acute △ABC. Prove that A1C·BC=B1C·AC
1 answer:
Answer:
See the attached figure which represents the problem.
As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.
△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)
△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)
From (1) and (2)
∴ A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC
using scissors method
∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC

Answer:
8 Joule
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of block = 2 kg
Displacement = x = 800 mm = 0.8 m
Spring constant = k = 25 N/m
Potential Energy of a spring
Work done = Difference in Potential Energy
Work Done = Δ P.E.
⇒P.E. = 0.5×25×0.8²
⇒P.E. = 8 Nm = 8 Joule
Here already the spring constant and displacement is given so the mass will not be used while calculating the potential energy.
