What i Learnt
this week i learnt about the physics revolving around mass acceleration and force i also learnt formulas that use involving change of temprture, gravity and the specific heat capacity of material . I learnt about the hazards associated with fires, there different ratings and how to counteract them
Finding an unkown angle
- Step 1 The two sides we know are Opposite (300) and Adjacent (400).
- Step 2 SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Tangent.
- Step 3 Use your calculator to calculate Opposite/Adjacent = 300/400 = 0.75
- Step 4 Find the angle from your calculator using tan-1
Tan x° = opposite/adjacent = 300/400 = 0.75
tan-1 of 0.75 = 36.9
Solving unknown side
Start with: | sin 39° = d/30 | |
Swap: | d/30 = sin 39° | |
Calculate sin 39°: | d/30 = 0.6293… | |
Multiply both sides by 30: | d = 0.6293… x 30 = 18.88 to 2 decimal places. | |
The depth the anchor ring lies beneath the hole is 18.88 m
