Answer:

56.7°

Explanation:

Imagine a rectangle triangle.

The triangle has 3 sides.

One side is the height of the tower, let's name it A.

Another side is the distance from the base of the tower to the point where the waire touches the ground. Let's name that B.

Sides A and B are perpendicular.

The other side is the length of the wire. Let's name it C.

From trigonometry we know that:

cos(a) = B / C

Where a is the angle between B anc C, between the wire and the ground.

Therefore

a = arccos(B/C)

a = arccos(552/1005) = 56.7°

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?
Naddik [55]

Hey there!

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Spilling breaker usually occurs when a beach or ocean is flat, and as the waves of the wind continues to happen, slowly the region would eventually become a slope.

It's almost like play-dough. Let's say that we set a perfect flat surface of play-dough on the table. As we continue slide our hands one direction, doesn't the play dough have more on one side than the other? It eventually contains a slope if you add enough from the first place.

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Lesechka [4]

Answer:4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4

1 kPa= 10^3 Pa

1 km=10^5 cm

1kPa/km=0.01 Pa/cm

1kPa/km=10^{-8} J/cm^4

\Rightarrow r= 0.0421 kPa/km= 0.0421 kPa/km \times \frac{10^{-8} J/cm^4}{1 kPa/km}= 0.0421 \times 10^{-8}J/cm^4=4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4
