A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 75 meters above the road surf

ace and are 400 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 100 meters from the center.

Answer:

Let take the center of bridge as our origin (0,0). Parabola having vertex at origin is represented by y=a.x^2

At the right far end or +ive x-axis side we've x=200 and y=75 , so a=75/(200^2)=0.001875

Y

Parabola equation y=0.001875*x^2

Height of cable from 100m from centre. Y=? ,X=100m

Y=0.001875*(100^2)

Y=18.75 m

Height of ropes at 100m from the center of bridge.

David can finish painting the room in six hours and his elder brother Anthony can finish it in four hours if both brothers paint
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

David's time = 6 hours

Anthony's time = 4 hours

the combined time is given by the following formula

1/ (david's time) + 1/(anthony's time) = 1/total time

1/6 + 1/4 = 1/Total

4/24 + 6/24 = 1/Total

10/24 = 1/ total   (taking reciprocal of both sides)

24/10 = total

total time = 24/10 = 2.4 hours

What is m (There is no multiple choice just find m
Sauron [17]

Answer:

160 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line ABC is a straight line, and the angle on a straight line is always 180 degrees.

Since ABD + DBC = ABC, we know that x+8x=180

9x=180

Divide both sides by 9:

x=180\div 9=20

DBC is 8x=8\times 20=160 degrees.

If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16.  You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.

The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16.  You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x.  You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
