A flagpole is 6.8m tall. A cable is attached from ground to the top of the pole such that it makes a 66 degree angle with the pole. How long is the cable? How far from the pole is the cable attached to the ground? If the cable is attached 4.2m closer to the pole, what is the new angle between pole and cable?

Length of cable = 16.7 m

Distance from ground = 15.4

New angle between pole and cable = 58.5 degrees

Explanation:

The flagpole forms a right-angled triangle with the cable and the ground.

Let the adjacent side be the flagpole, the hypotenuse be the cable and the ground be the opposite side.

hypotenuse = h

adjacent = 6.8 m

distance from ground = d

angle = 66.0

cos 66 = 6.8/h

h = 6.8/cos 66

h = 16.7 m

tan 66 = d /6.8

d = 6.8 * tan 66

d = 15.3 m

If the cable is brought 4.2 m closer to the pole, new distance = 15.3 - 4.2 = 11.1 m

let new angle be x

tan x = 11.1/6.8

x = tan⁻¹ (11.1/6.8)

x = 58.5 degrees

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
