Question

A kite is flying at a height of 60 m above the ground The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground The inclination of the string with the ground is 60 Find the length of the string assuming that there is no slack in the string

Accepted Answer

Draw a figure based on given instruction Let BC Height of the kite from the ground BC 60 m AC Inclined length of the string from the ground and A is the point where string of the kite is tied To Find Length of the string from the ground ie the value of AC From the above figure sin 60 BCAC 32 60AC AC 403 m Thus the length of the string from the ground is 403 m
