The equation h = 7 sine (startfraction pi over 21 endfraction t) 28 can be used to model the height, h, in feet of the end of one blade of a windmill turning on an axis above the ground as a function of time, t, in seconds. how long is the blade? assume that the blade is pointing to the right, parallel to the ground, at t = 0, and that the windmill turns counterclockwise at a constant rate. 7 feet 14 feet 21 feet 28 feet

Respuesta :

The length of the blade of the windmill will be equal to 7 feet.

What will be the length of the windmill?

We have the equation

[tex]\rm h=7 \ Sin(\dfrac{\pi}{21t})+28[/tex]

At the time 't' = 0, the end of the blade is pointing to the right parallel to the ground meaning it is at the same height as the other end. (Ф = 0°)

So, by calculating the maximum height of this end at  Ф = 90°. we can calculate the length of the blade.

Now, we know that a general model equation of a circular simple harmonic motion is represented as

[tex]\rm y=A\ Sinwt+k[/tex]

Where A is the amplitude that is, maximum displacement from mean to maximum position.

ω is the angular frequency.

Comparing the above equations we can conclude that

A = 7

so the difference in blade's end height at Ф = 0° and Ф = 90° is 7 feet.
