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?

Look at the image given. it is of two charged styrofoam balls when they are a distance of r from each other. The middle of ball1 is at (x1, y1) and the middle of ball 2 is at (x2, y2). The hanging balls are experiencing 3 forces (weight (mg), tension (F+), and repulsive electrostatic force (F.)). the vector sum of the forces should be zero as the balls are in static equilibrium. Ball 1 Pencil Origin ·x Fr mg Ball 2 it is your job to show that the magnitude of the electric force on each ball is given by the following expression: Fe = Were you assume: in-¹ (²/²7) = sin mgtan 0 cos a + sin a tan 0 a = sin 32 – 31 1 (9-³) T T • = √(x2 − x₁)² + (y2 − y₁)² Be sure to have detailed derivation steps and supportive diagrams while answering this question *write your answer in pencil or pen clearly, please.
