The radius of a circle is \(30\) cm. Find the length of an arc of this circle, if the length of the chord of the arc is \(30\) cm. Solution: Radius of the circle: \[ r=30 \text{ cm} \] Chord length: \[ c=30 \text{ cm} \] Using chord formula: \[ c=2r\sin\frac{\theta}{2} \] Substituting the values:

Find the angle in radians through which a pendulum swings if its length is \(75\) cm and the tip describes an arc of length \(21\) cm. Solution: We know: \[ s=r\theta \] Given: \[ s=21 \text{ cm} \] \[ r=75 \text{ cm} \] Using, \[ \theta=\frac{s}{r} \] \[ \theta=\frac{21}{75} \] \[ \theta=\frac{7}{25} \] Therefore, the

Solution: We know: \[ s=r\theta \] Given: \[ s=15 \text{ cm} \] \[ r=75 \text{ cm} \] Using, \[ \theta=\frac{s}{r} \] \[ \theta=\frac{15}{75} \] \[ \theta=\frac{1}{5} \] Therefore, the

Find the angle in radians through which a pendulum swings if its length is \(75\) cm and the tip describes an arc of length \(10\) cm. Solution: We know: \[ s=r\theta \] Given: \[ s=10 \text{ cm} \] \[ r=75 \text{ cm} \] Using, \[ \theta=\frac{s}{r} \] \[ \theta=\frac{10}{75} \] \[ \theta=\frac{2}{15} \] Therefore, the

A wheel makes \(360\) revolutions per minute. Through how many radians does it turn in \(1\) second? Solution: Number of revolutions per minute: \[ 360 \] Number of revolutions per second: \[ \frac{360}{60}=6 \] One complete revolution equals: \[ 2\pi \text{ radians} \] Therefore, angle turned in \(1\) second: \[ 6\times2\pi \] \[ 12\pi \text{

Find the length which at a distance of \(5280\) m will subtend an angle of \(1’\) at the eye. Solution: We know: \[ s=r\theta \] Given: \[ r=5280 \text{ m} \] \[ \theta=1′ \] Since, \[ 1^\circ=60′ \] \[ 1’=\frac{1}{60}^\circ \] Convert into radians: \[ \theta=\frac{1}{60}\times\frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{10800} \] Now, \[ s=5280\times\frac{\pi}{10800} \] \[ s=\frac{22\pi}{45}
