Question

plz do help for this question of directions

Answer 1

Since the man goes C to A = 24 m west and then A to B = 10 m north, he is forming a right angle triangle with respect to starting point C.
His distance from the starting point can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem
(AC)2 = (AB) 2 + (BC)2
⇒ (AC)2 = (24)2 + (10)2
⇒ (AC)2 = 576 + 100
⇒ (AC)2 = 676
⇒ AC = 26

Answer 2

Answer:

AC=26.......

Answer :

A body is taken 32 km above the surface of the earth

Radius of earth = 6400 km

Percentage decrease in weight of the body = ?

Finally, the % change in weight will be given by,

\begin{gathered}\sf :\implies \delta W = \delta m + \delta g\\\end{gathered}
