A wire ACB passes through a ring at C, which is attached to a sphere rotating at constant speed v in the horizontal circle shown in the figure. If θ1 = 61.48 ° and θ2 = 23.70 °, and the tension is the same in both portions of the wire, determine the distance d in inches if the speed v = 8 ft / s.
Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
