Chapter 1, Problem 1.36SP
Two observation towers A and B are located 300 ft apart, as shown. An object on the ground between the towers is observed at point C, and the observer on tower A notes that the angle CAB is 68° 10’. At the same time, the observer on tower B notes that the angle CBA is 72° 30’. Assuming a horizontal surface and towers of equal height, how far is the object from each tower and how high are the towers?

- Large wind turbines with a power capacity of 8 MW and blade span diameters of over 160 m areavailable for electric power generation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 120m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8.25 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of thewind turbine to be 33 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, determine the electric powergenerated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8.25 m/s during a 24-h period,determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of$0.08/kWh for electricity.arrow_forwardThe basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building.
