When the top (T) of a mountain is viewed from point A, 2000m from ground, the angle of depression (a) is equal to 15° and when it is viewed from point B on the ground, the angle of elevation (b) is equal to 10°. If points A and B are on the same vertical line, find the height (h) of the mountain. A a = 15° T 2000 m B b = 10°

The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?
A single-threaded (or single-start) square-thread screw is shown in Figure 5-6. The lead of a screw is the distance that the screw advances in one turn (revolution). The lead is equal to the pitch in a single-threaded screw. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the leads.
