Answer:
468 m
Explanation:
So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.
The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m
We can calculate the angle ECD:
This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:
So the height of the building is 468m
The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67
Explanation:
Given:
Weight of the chair = 25kg
Force = 165 N (F_applied)
Force = 127 N (F_max)
To find: Coefficient of static friction
The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair
μ_s=
The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity
∴=mg
Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as
μ_s=
μ_{s} =
= 0.67
