Concept explainers
You are interested in calculating the best place to stand to look at a statue. Where should you stand so that the angle subtended by the statue is the largest?
At the top of the worksheet, input the pedestal height (P) and the statue height (S).
In column A, create a series of distances (d) from the foot of the statue, from 2 feet to 40 feet by 2-foot increments.
In column B, calculate the subtended angle n radians using the following equation:
In column C, write a function to change the angles in column B from radians to degrees. At the bottom of column C, insert a function to display the maximum value of all the angles.
In column D, use a conditional statement whose output is blank except at the single distance where the angle is a maximum; at the maximum, print “Stand Here.” This font should be in the color of your choice, net the default black text.
Test your worksheet using the following conditions:
- I. At a pedestal Height of 20 feet and a statue height of 10 feet, the subtended angle is 11.5 degrees and you should stand 24 feet from the statue.
- II. At a pedestal height of 30 feet and a statue height of 20 feet, the subtended angle is 14.5 degrees and you should stare 38 feet from the statue.

A seesaw that weights 45lbs and its 5m long is balanced on the fulcrum in the center. 1- Two children are sitting on opposite sides of each other on the seesaw. One child weights 50lbs and is sitting 0.7m on the left end. Where should the other child sit in order to be balanced on the seesaw if they weigh 42lbs? 2- Now, a third child wants to sit on the seesaw and weighs 30lbs and is sitting 1.25m in front of them and is closer to the fulcrum on the right side. What are the CW and CCW moment of the seesaw now? What is the net moment and direction? 3- Then, a fourth child wants to play on the seesaw and is on the left side of the plank in order to bring the system to equilibrium. How much does the child weigh (Calculate the pounds of force needed in order for rebalance?) 4- Now the fourth child leaves the other three children sitting on the plank.

- I'm playing a game of pool with by brother; he's stripes. At some point, I notice I have a perfectly-aligned shot to put the 1-ball in the corner pocket. But I have to be careful; if I hit the cue too hard, I'll pocket my brother's ball as well. If my shot angle = 27°, and I've estimated the dimensions at the bottom (figure not to scale) in inches, how much initial velocity do I need to give the cue ball in order to pocket my ball but not my brother's? Reminder: the mass of a standard pool ball is 6 oz, the diameter is 2.25 inches, the coefficient of restitution for pool ball impacts is approximately 0.95, and the coefficient of rolling friction between a pool ball and the cloth is μ, ≈ 0.01. 7 12 50 8arrow_forwardDraw the projections of the following points on the same ground line, keeping the distance between projectors equal to 35 mm.

- JUST DRAW THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM. NO NEED TO SOLVE. THANK YOU In Rizal province, one of its power plants has been thoroughly monitored for possible conversion into a wind power plant. A propeller wind turbine is to be used. Survey showed that Rizal Province at a height of 10 meters above the ground has a minimum wind speed of 7.1 miles per hour duringthe month of June and a maximum wind speed of 12.9 miles per hour during the month of January. The minimum temperature is at 75 degree Fahrenheit during the month of January and maximum temperature is at 89 degree Fahrenheit during the month of May. The existing power plant has an output of 54MW. For the proposed wind power, the power coefficient of turbine is 35% and the generator efficiency is 95%. Theimpeller diameter is assumed not to exceed 90m. Determine the following:a. Theoretical Wind Power Outputb. Electrical Power Outputc.
