Determining the Height of an Aircraft Two sensors are spaced 700 feet apart along the approach to a small airport. When an aircraft is nearing the airport, the angle of elevation from the first sensor to the aircraft is 20°, and from the second sensor to the aircraft it is 15°. Determine how high the aircraft is at this time.
The displacement d (in meters) of an object at time t (in seconds) is given as
(a) Describe the motion of the object.
(b) What is the maximum displacement from its resting position?
(c) What is the time required for one oscillation?
(d) What is the frequency?
Finding the Lean of the Leaning Tower of Pisa The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa was originally 184.5 feet high.* At a distance of 123 feet from the base of the tower, the angle
of elevation to the top of the tower is found to be 60°. Find RPQ indicated in the figure. Also, find the perpendicular distance from R to PQ.
