प्रश्न
On a horizonal plane there is a vertical tower with a flagpole on the top of the tower. At a point, 9 meters away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top and bottom of the flagpole are 60 and 30 respectively. Find the height of the tower and the flagpole mounted on it.
उत्तर
Let OX be the horizontal plane, AD be the tower and CD be the vertical flagpole
We have:
AB = 9m, ∠DBA= 30° and ∠CBA = 60°
Let:
AD = hm and CD = xm
In the right ΔABD,we have:
`(AD)/(AB) = tan 30° = 1/ sqrt(3)`
`⇒ h/8 = 1/sqrt(3)`
`⇒ h = 9/sqrt(3) = 5.19 `m
Now, in the right ΔABC,we have
`(AC)/(BA) = tan 60° = sqrt(3)`
`⇒ (h+x ) /9 = sqrt(3)`
`⇒ h + x = 9 sqrt(3)`
By putting h= `9/sqrt(3)` in the above equation, we get:
`9/sqrt(3) + x = 9 sqrt(3) `
`⇒ x = 9 sqrt(3) - 9/ sqrt(3) `
`⇒ x = (27-9)/ sqrt(3) = 18/ sqrt(3) = 18/ 1.73 = 10.4`
Thus, we have:
Height of the flagpole = 10. 4 m
Height of the tower = 5. 19 m

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. |
