- Question
- A man is observing from the top of a tower a boat speeding away from the tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of 45° with the man's eye when at a distance of 60 m from the tower. After 5 second, the angle of depression becomes 30°, Find the speed of the boat, assuming that it is running in still water.
Options- A. 30 km/hr.
- B. 31.5 km/hr
- C. 33 km/hr
- D. 34 km/hr
- Correct Answer
- 31.5 km/hr
ExplanationLet us draw the figure from the given question.
Let AB = h meter be the height of the tower; C and D are the two points on the ground such that BC = 60 m; ?ACB = 45° and ?ADB = 30°
Now from right triangle ABC,
tan 45° = h/60
? 1 = h/60
? h = 60 m;
Again from right triangle ABD;
tan 30° = h/(x + 60)
? 1/?3 = 60/(x + 60)
? x + 60 = 60?3
? x = 60(1.73 - 1) = 43.8 meter
Hence, speed of boat = 43.8/5 m/s = 43.8/5 x 18/5 = 31.5 km/hr. - 1. The value of 47 / 10000 is?
