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
