The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of

kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine

A particular spiral galaxy can be approximated by a thin disk-like volume 62 Thousand Light Years in radius and 7 Hundred Light

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.

Explanation:

Radius of the spiral galaxy r = 62000 LY

Thickness of the galaxy h = 700 LY

Volume of the galaxy = πr²h

= (3.14)(62000)²(700)

= (3.14)(62)²(7)(10)⁸

= 84568×10⁸

= $8.45\times 10^{12}$ (LY)³

Since galaxy contains number of stars = 1078 billion stars ≈ $1.078\times 10^{12}$

Now volume covered by each star of the galaxy = $\frac{\text{Total volume of the galaxy}}{\text{Number of stars}}$

= $\frac{8.45\times 10^{12} }{1.078\times 10^{12}}$

= 7.839 Light Years

Now the linear dimension across the volume

= $(\text{Average volume per star})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

= $(7.839)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

= 1.99 LY

≈ 2 Light Years

Therefore, approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.
