To find: the distance travelled by the rock from the place where it was thrown.
Answer to Problem 14P
The distance travelled by the rock from the place where it was thrown is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
The given canyon wall is drawn below:
The rock follows a path described approximately by the equation
The given figure can be representing in
The line connecting the points
The intersection point between the above line and the curve representing equating (A) is given as follows:
Distance can't be negative.
Therefore,
Now, at
Therefore, the point is
The distance of the point
Therefore, distance is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the distance travelled by the rock from the place where it was thrown is
