Angle of Repose: Deicing Salt Due to potential transportation issues (for example, frozen waterways) deicing salt used by highway departments in the Midwest must be ordered early and stored for future use. When deicing salt is stored in a pile 14feet high, the diameter of the base of the pile is 45feet.

(a) Find the angle of repose for deicing salt.

(b) What is the base diameter of a pile that is 17feet high?

(c) What is the height of a pile that has a base diameter of approximately122feet?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The angle of repose is 31.89

(b) The base diameter of a pile that is 17feet high IS54.64ft.

(c) Therefore, the height of the pile is37.95ft feet.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given data

The height of the pile =14feet

The base diameter of the pile =45feet

Therefore, the base radius of the pile=22.5feet

02

Step 2. The angle of repose for deicing salt 

To find the angle we have the equation,

=cot1(rh).......(1)

where ris the radius and his the height.

substituting the values of radius and height in the equation we get,

role="math" localid="1647800278814" =cot1(22.514)cot=22.514.........(2)

substitute cot()=1tanin equation (2)

1tan=22.514=tan1(1422.5)=tan1(0.6222)=31.89

Therefore, the angle of repose is31.89

03

Step 3. The base diameter of a pile 

Here, the height is 17feet

The angle=31.89

substituting this in equation 1,

localid="1647800758536" 31.89=cot1(r17)cot(31.89)=r17.......(3)

substitute cot()=1tanin equation (3)

localid="1647800948529" 1tan(31.89)=r17tan(31.89)=17r0.6222=17rr=170.6222r=27.32

Therefore the base diameter=231.89=54.64ft

04

Step 4. The height of a pile 

The base diameter of the pile is122ft

Therefore, the radius of the pile=1222=61ft

localid="1647831822127" role="math" 31.89=cot1(61h)cot31.89=61h.......(4)

Substitute cot()=1tanin equation (4)

role="math" localid="1647831977467" tan31.89=h610.6222=h610.622261=hh=0.622261h=37.95ft

Therefore, the height of the pile is 37.95feet.

The Ferris Wheel In 1893, George Ferris engineered the Ferris Wheel. It was 250 feet in diameter. If the wheel make 1revolutionevery40seconds, then the function h(t)=125sin0.157t-2+125 represents the height h, in feet, of a seat on the wheel as a function of time t, where t is measured in seconds. The ride begins when t = 0.

(a) During the first 40 seconds of the ride, at what time t is

an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 125 feet above

the ground?

(b) During the first 80 seconds of the ride, at what time t is

an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 250 feet above

the ground?

(c) During the first 40 seconds of the ride, over what interval

of timet is an individual on the Ferris Wheel more than

125 feet above the ground?

Movie Theater Screens Suppose that a movie theater has a screen that is 28feet tall. When you sit down, the bottom of the screen is 6feet above your eye level. The angle formed by drawing a line from your eye to the bottom of the screen and your eye and the top of the screen is called the viewing angle. In the figure, is the viewing angle. Suppose that you sit xfeet from the screen. The viewing angle is given by the function:

x=tan-134x-tan-16x

(a) What is your viewing angle if you sit 10feet from the screen? 15feet? 20feet?

(b) If there is 5feet between the screen and the first row of seats and there is 3feet between each row, which row results in the largest viewing angle?

(c) Using a graphing utility, graph

x=tan-134x-tan-16x.

Projectile Motion A golfer hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 100 miles per hour. The range R of the ball as a function of the angle to the horizontal is given by R()=672sin2, where R is measured in feet.

(a) At what angle should the ball be hit if the golfer wants the ball to travel 450 feet (150 yards)?

(b) At what angle should the ball be hit if the golfer wants the ball to travel 540 feet (180 yards)?

(c) At what angle should the ball be hit if the golfer wants the ball to travel at least 480 feet (160 yards)?

(d) Can the golfer hit the ball 720 feet (240 yards)?

Constructing a Rain Gutter A rain gutter is to be constructed of aluminum sheets 12inches wide. After marking off a length of 4inches from each edge, this length is bent up at an angle . See the illustration. The area Aof the opening as a function of is given by

A()=16sin(cos+1)0<<90

(a) In calculus, you will be asked to find the angle that maximizes Aby solving the equation

cos(2)+cos=0,0<<90

(b)What is the maximum area Aof the opening?

(c)Graph A=A(),090, and find the angle that maximizes the area A. Also find the maximum area. Compare the results to the answer found earlier.

Projectile Motion The horizontal distance that a projectile will

travel in the air (ignoring air resistance) is given by the equation

R()=v02sin2g

where v0is the initial velocity of the projectile, is the angle

of elevation, and g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters

per second squared).

(a) If you can throw a baseball with an initial speed of 34.8 meters per second, at what angle of elevation should you direct the throw so that the ball travels a distance of 107 meters before striking the ground?

(b) Determine the maximum distance that you can throw the ball.

(c) Graph R=R(),with v0=34.8meters per second.

(d) Verify the results obtained in parts (a) and (b) using a graphing utility.
