a.
Answer to Problem 36E
The gradient between points A and B on the cinder cone is 4000 feet per mile.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A cinder cone is a type of volcano. To describe the steepness of a cinder cone from one point on cone to another, you can find the gradient between the two points.
The graph shows the cross section of a cinder cone.
Calculation:
We can see that point A is at (0,0) and point B is at (0.1,400). Upon substituting these values in gradient formula, we will get:
Therefore, the gradient between points A and B on the cinder cone is 4000 feet per mile.
b.
To find:
The gradient between points B and Con the cinder cone using the given information. Include units in your answer.
b.
Answer to Problem 36E
The gradient between points B and C on the cinder cone is 1000 feet per mile.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A cinder cone is a type of volcano. To describe the steepness of a cinder cone from one point on cone to another, you can find the gradient between the two points.
The graph shows the cross section of a cinder cone.
Calculation:
We can see that point B is at (0.1,400) and point C is at (0.2,500). Upon substituting these values in gradient formula, we will get:
Therefore, the gradient between points B and C on the cinder cone is 1000 feet per mile.
c.
To find:
The gradient between points A and Con the cinder cone using the given information. Include units in your answer.
c.
Answer to Problem 36E
The gradient between points A and Con the cinder cone is 2500 feet per mile.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A cinder cone is a type of volcano. To describe the steepness of a cinder cone from one point on cone to another, you can find the gradient between the two points.
The graph shows the cross section of a cinder cone.
