At a water fountain, water attains a maximum height of 4 m at horizontal distance of 0.5 m from its origin. If the path of water is a parabola, find the height of water at a horizontal distance of 0.75 m from the point of origin.
An engineer designs a satellite dish with a parabolic cross-section. The dish is 5 m wide at the opening and the focus is placed 1.2 m from the vertex. Find the depth of the satellite dish at the vertex
Parabolic cable of a 60 m portion of the roadbed of a suspension bridge are positioned as shown below. Vertical Cables are to be spaced every 6m along this portion of the roadbed. Calculate the lengths of first two of these vertical cables from the vertex.
A rod of length 1 2. m moves with its ends always touching the coordinate axes. The locus of a point P on the rod, which is 0 3. m from the end in contact with x-axis is an ellipse. Find the eccentricity
Assume that water issuing from the end of a horizontal pipe, 7 5. m above the ground, describes a parabolic path. The vertex of the parabolic path is at the end of the pipe. At a position 2 5. m below the line of the pipe, the flow of water has curved outward 3 m beyond the vertical line through the end of the pipe. How far beyond this vertical line will the water strike the ground?
On lighting a rocket cracker it gets projected in a parabolic path and reaches a maximum height of 4 m when it is 6m away from the point of projection. Finally it reaches the ground 12 m away from the starting point. Find the angle of projection
Points A and B are 10 km apart and it is determined from the sound of an explosion heard at those points at different times that the location of the explosion is 6 km closer to A than B. Show that the location of the explosion is restricted to a particular curve and find an equation of it.
