In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  
But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.   
Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

where

 is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system
In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is
 
 
        
        
        
Answer:
y = 10.44cos(2t - 0.291) cm
Explanation:
y = Acos(2πt/T + φ) = Acos(2πt/π + φ) = Acos(2t + φ)
v = y' = -2Αsin(2t + φ)
10 = Acos(2(0) + φ) = Acosφ
6 = -2Αsin(2(0) + φ) = -2Asinφ
6/10 = -2Asinφ/Acosφ = -2tanφ
tanφ = -0.3
φ = -0.291 radians
10 = Acos(-0.291)
A = 10/cos(-0.291) = 10.44
 
        
             
        
        
        
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°
