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?
Area of a Segment Find the area of the segment of a circle whose radius is 5 inches, formed by a central angle of .
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:
