SAMPLE 1-From each hill, the angle of Ffynnon Garw to the other hill is measured.

The horizontal
distance from Newton Beacon to Whitchurch Hill is 1840 feet .Use this information to find the horizontal distance,d, from Ffynnon Graw to Whitchurch Hill to the nearest foot

FFYNNON GRAW d

70.40 NEWTON BEACON

57.60

WHITCHURCH HILL

-------1840 feet---------------

SOLUTIONThere are many methods to solve this problem but it can be solved easily using SINE FORMULA according to this,in a triangle A C A b SinA /a = SinB /b =SinC /c

So applying in given problem F

N =70.40 , W = 57.60 As we know that sum of angles of a triangle is

N So F +N +W =180 F+57.6+70.4 =180 F+128 =180 F =180-128=520

1840 feet

W equal to 1800.

So Sin F /1840 = Sin N /d Or Sin 52 /1840 =Sin 70.4/d -----------1 From SINE TABLE Sin 52=0.7880, Sin 70.4 =0.9421 Putting in equation 1,we get 0.7880/1840=0.9421/d Or d=0.9421x1840/0.7880 =2199.82 feet =2200 feet (approx.) ANS.

SAMPLE 2-

The altitude of Whitchurch Hill is known to be 772 feet.From the top of Ffynnon

Graw,the angle of depression of the top of Whitchurch Hill is 5.50. (a) Find the vertical height X of Ffynnon Graw (above the height of Whitchurch Hill) to nearest foot. (b) Is Ffynnon Graw a mountain ?

------------------------------------------------------5.50 X

d W.H. F.G.

SOLUTION (a) The given prob. Can be solved as A

X 5.50 C A represents F.G and C represents W.H As we know that angle of elevation is equal to angle of depression So C=5.50 ,B=900 d=2200 feet (from last sample 1) ABC is a right angle triangle Tan C=altitude/base Tan 5.5=X/d Tan5.5=X/2200 From tan table, tan 5.5=0.0963 0.0963=X/2200 X=2200x 0.0963 =211.86 feet =212 feet (approx) d B

(b)

Total height of F.G.= Height of W.G. + X = 772+212

=984 Feet No , it is not a mountain because according to British Govt. a peak must be 1000 feet to be a mountain.

SAMPLE 3-- I n the given Time-Displacement equation

X=5t2+3t+4 , where x is displacement in meters and t is time in seconds.Find the velocity of body after 5 seconds. SolutionGiven equation is X=5t2+3t+4 Differentiating it with respect to time t , we get dx/dt=5x2t+3x1+0 =10t+3 As we know that rate of change of displacement is called velocity So dx/dt=v Velocity of body after 5 second--V=10x5+3 =50+3 =53 meter/second ANS. because d/dt (t2)=2t , d/dt (t)=1
