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.
Law of Tangents For any triangle, derive the Law of Tangents.
In the given problem solve the triangle using either the law of sines or law of cosines-
A person in a small boat, offshore from a vertical cliff known to be feet in height, takes a sighting of the top of the cliff. If the angle of elevation is found to be, how far offshore is the boat?
an object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down a distance a from its rest position and then released. Assuming that the motion is simple harmonic with period T, write an equation that relates the displacement d of the object from its rest position after t seconds. Also assume that the positive direction of the motion is up:
