Explanation :

It is given that,

The radius of the earth is, r = 3959 mi

From the attached figure, we have to find the distance to the horizon from this point.

So, using Pythagoras theorem:

AP^2=OA^2-OP^2

x^2=(R+h)^2-R^2

x^2=(3959+4.3)^2-(3959)^2

x^2=34065.89\ mi

x=184.57\ mi

The distance to the horizon from this point is 184.57 mi.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Howdy!!

your answer is ----


total resistance 1/R = 1/9+1/9+1/9
= 3/9

=> R = 9/3 = 3 ohm
according to ohms law

voltage = current × resistance

= 4 × 3 = 12 volt
