Answer:
(1 cm)cos3πt
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the piston starts at its maximal height and returns to its maximal height three times evert 2 seconds, it is modelled by a cosine functions, since a cosine function starts at its maximum point. So, its height h = Acos2πft
where A = amplitude of the oscillation and f = frequency of oscillation and t = time of propagation of oscillation.
Now, since the piston rises in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds, its frequency, f = number of oscillations/time taken for oscillation where number of oscillations = 3 and time taken for oscillations = 2 s
So, f = 3/2 s =1.5 /s = 1.5 Hz
Also, since the the piston moves between 3 cm and 5 cm, the distance between its maximum displacement(crest) of 5 cm and minimum displacement(trough) of 3 cm is H = 5 cm - 3 cm = 2 cm. So its amplitude, A = H/2 = 2 cm/2 = 1 cm
h = Acos2πft
= (1 cm)cos2π(1.5Hz)t
= (1 cm)cos3πt
Answer:
cos(B) = a/c
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
The leg adjacent to angle B is "a". The hypotenuse is "c", so the desired cosine is ...
cos(B) = adjacent/hypotenuse = a/c
Answer:
105.46 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We know all three angles (60, 90, and 30), as well as one side, which is adjacent to the 60 degrees. We want to find the side opposite to the 60 degree angle. To do this, we can use tangent, utilizing both opposite and adjacent.
Using tan, we can say that tan(60) = x/58, with x representing the height of the lighthouse (minus 5, because Santos is 5 feet tall and he is measuring the angle from the top of his head). Multiplying both sides by 58, we can get that 58 *tan(60) = x = 100.46. Add 5 to that to get 105.46 feet as your answer.
Are there any other things that cost money that are in the equation?
