The angle of elevation of the top of a chimney form the foot of a tower is 60° and the angle of depression of the foot of the chimney from the top of the tower is 30° . If the height of the tower is 40 meters. Find the height of the chimney.
The angle of elevation of the top of a chimney from the foot of a tower is 60° and the angle of depression of the foot of the chimney from the top of the tower is 30°. If the height of the tower is 40 m, find the height of the chimney. According to pollution control norms, the minimum height of a smoke emitting chimney should be 100 m. State if the height of the above mentioned chimney meets the pollution norms. What value is discussed in this question?
उत्तर
Let PQ be the chimney and AB be the tower.
We have,
AB = 40m,∠APB = 30° and ∠PAQ = 60°
In ΔABP,
`tan 30° = (AB)/(AP)`
`⇒ 1/ sqrt(3) = 40/ (AP)`
`⇒ AP = 40 sqrt(3 ) m`
Now, in Δ APQ ,
` tan 60° = (OQ)/(AP)`
`⇒ sqrt(3) = (PQ) / (40 sqrt(3))`
∴ PQ = 120 m
So, the height of the chimney is 120 m.
Hence, the height of the chimney meets the pollution norms.
In this question, management of air pollution has been shown

Lakshaman Jhula is located 5 kilometers north-east of the city of Rishikesh in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The bridge connects the villages of Tapovan to Jonk. Tapovan is in Tehri Garhwal district, on the west bank of the river, while Jonk is in Pauri Garhwal district, on the east bank. Lakshman Jhula is a pedestrian bridge also used by motorbikes. It is a landmark of Rishikesh. A group of Class X students visited Rishikesh in Uttarakhand on a trip. They observed from a point (P) on a river bridge that the angles of depression of opposite banks of the river are 60° and 30° respectively. The height of the bridge is about 18 meters from the river. |
