Chapter 8: Q. 64 (page 517)

A ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80掳E and a speed of 15 knots. After 1 hour, the ship turns 90掳 toward the south. After 2 hours, maintaining the same speed, what is the bearing to the ship from port?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus the bearing from the port to the ship is about S 16.56掳E.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given that a ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80掳E and a speed of 15 knots. After 1 hour, the ship turns 90掳 toward the south. After 2 hours, maintaining the same speed.

02

Solution

We鈥檒l draw the line from Miami (Point A) to the ship鈥檚 location(Point C) and use the angle Y掳of that line to find the bearing as in this figure: -

In 鈻�ABC

tan(x掳)=BCABtan(x掳)=3015tan(x掳)=2x掳=tan-1(2)x鈮�63.43掳

Now angle Y掳is =80掳-63.43掳

Y掳=16.56掳

03

Final answer

Thus the bearing from the port to the ship is about S 16.56掳E.

Finding Distances A forest ranger is walking on a path inclined at 5掳 to the horizontal directly toward a 100-foottall fire observation tower. The angle of elevation from the

path to the top of the tower is 40掳. How far is the ranger from the tower at this time?

Crankshafts on Cars On a certain automobile, the crankshaft is 3 inches long and the connecting rod is 9 inches long (see the figure). At the time when 鈭�OPQ is 15掳, how

far is the piston (P) from the center (O) of the crankshaft?

Willis Tower in Chicago is the third tallest building in the world and is topped by a high antenna. A surveyor on the ground makes the following measurement:

1. The angle of elevation from his position to the top of the building is 34掳. 2. The distance from his position to the top of the building is 2593 feet.

3. The distance from his position to the top of the antenna is 2743 feet. (a) How far away from the (base of the) building is the surveyor located? (b) How tall is the building?

(c) What is the angle of elevation from the surveyor to the top of the antenna?

(d) How tall is the antenna?

Area of a Segment Find the area of the segment (shaded in blue in the figure) of a circle whose radius is 8 feet, formed by a central angle of 70掳.

[Hint: Subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector to obtain the area of the segment.]

A surveillance satellite circles Earth at a height of h miles above the surface. Suppose that d is the distance, in miles, on the surface of Earth that can be observed from the satellite. See the illustration on the following page.

Part (a): Find an equation that relates the central angle u to the height h.

Part (b): Find an equation that relates the observable distance d and u.

Part (c): Find an equation that relates d and h.

Part (d): If d is to be 2500miles, how high must the satellite orbit above Earth?

Part (e): If the satellite orbits at a height of 300miles, what distance d on the surface can be observed?
