Rock faults are ruptures along which opposite faces of rock have slid past each other. In Fig. 3-35, points A and B coincided before the rock in the foreground slid down to the right. The net displacement ABis along the plane of the fault.The horizontal component of is the strike-slip AC. The component ABof that is directed down the plane of the fault is the dip-slip AD.(a) What is the magnitude of the net displacementABif the strike-slip is 22.0 mand the dip-slip is 17.0 m? (b) If the plane of the fault is inclined at angle=52.0to the horizontal, what is the vertical component ofAB?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of net displacement ABis 27.8 m .

b) When the plane of fault is inclined to the horizontal, then the vertical component of ABis 13.3m

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Strike-slip AC=22.0mand dip-slipAD=17.0m

The inclination angle of the fault plane to the horizontal is=52

02

Understanding the concept

The vector addition theorem can be used to find the net displacement and its vertical component can be found by using trigonometry and the information given in the figure.

Formula:

AD=AD+AD(i)

sin=oppositesidehypotenuse.(ii)

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of net displacement 

ABandAD are the horizontal and vertical component ofAB

According to the triangle vector addition law,

AB=AC+AD

AB2=AC2+AD2AB=AC2+AD2=223+172=27.8m

Hence, the magnitude of net displacement is 27.8 m

04

(b) Calculate the vertical component of AB→

Now the fault is inclined at an angle to the horizontal, hence, the vertical component ofAB is the opposite side of that angle

The vertical component of AB,

ABv=ADsin=17sin52=13.4m

Therefore, the vertical component ofAB=13.4m .

Being part of the 鈥淕ators,鈥 the University of Florida golfing team must play on a putting green with an alligator pit. Figure 3-22 shows an overhead view of one putting challenge of the team; an xy coordinate system is superimposed. Team members must putt from the origin to the hole, which is at xy coordinates (8 m, 12 m), but they can putt the golf ball using only one or more of the following displacements, one or more times:d1鈬赌=(8m)i^+(6m)j^,d2鈬赌=(6m)j^,d3鈬赌=(8m)i^The pit is at coordinates (8 m, 6 m). If a team member putts the ball into or through the pit, the member is automatically transferred to Florida State University, the arch rival. What sequence of displacements should a team member use to avoid the pit and the school transfer?
