The angle of elevation of the sun when the length of the shadow of a pole is
?3times the height of the pole will be :
A tower subtends an angle of
30° at a point on the same level as the foot of the tower. At a second point, h m above the first, the depression of the foot of the tower is
60°. The horizontal distance of the tower from the point is :
A
20 m high electric pole stands upright on the ground with the help of steel wire to its top and affixed on the ground. If the steel wire makes
60° with the horizontal ground, then find out the length of the steel wire.
The top of a
15 m high tower makes an angle of elevation of
60° with the bottom of an electric pole and an angle of elevation of
30° with the top of the pole. What is the height of the electric pole?
From a
15 m high bridge on the river, the angle of depression of a boat is
30°. If the speed of the boat be
6 Km/h, then the time taken by the boat to reach exactly below the bridge will be :
Two posts are
x meter apart and the height of one is double that of the other. If from the midpoint of the line joining their feet, an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary, then the height (in meter) of the shorter post is :
