A rain gutter is to be constructed from a metal sheet of width 30 cm by bending up one-third of the sheet on each side through an angle θ . How should θ be chosen so that the gutter will carry the maximum amount of water?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

60

Explanation:

The volume of the water carried will be proportional to the cross-sectional area. The cross-section is a trapezoid with height 10sint, where t represents theta. The top of the trapezoid is 10+(2)(10cost), i.e. 10 + 20cost. The base of the trapezoid is 10.

Area of trapezoid = (average of bases) times (height)

= ([10 + (10 +20cost)] / 2 ) 10 sint

= (10 + 10cost)(10sint)

= 100sint + 100sintcost, call this A(t). You need to maximize. So differentiate and set equal to zero.

dA/dt = -100sin(t)^2+100cos(t)+100cos(t)^2 = 0, divide by 100:

-sin(t)^2 + cos(t) + cos(t)^2 = 0, replace sin^2 by 1-cos^2

2cos(t)^2 + cos(t) - 1 = 0, factor

(1+cos(t))(2cos(t)-1)=0, so  

cos(t)=1, t=0 that give a min (zero area) not a max, or

cos(t) = 1/2, so t=60 degrees. This gives the max.

Answers

Answer:

I disagree.

Explanation:

Yes, traits may be similar, but it all depends on the dominant and recessive alleles that are passed on.  No one person can look alike.  Even with twins, a widow's peak or close lobes can be different.
