Chapter 1, Problem 1.42SP
An electronic distance measurement device (EDM) is to be used to lay out a canoe race course on a lake Buoys Band C have been placed The EDM is set up at point A as shown AB is 175.83 m and AC is 287.21 m The angle at A is 42°37’20”.
a. Find the length CB.
b. Keeping the angle at A and the line AB unchanged, find the required length of AC (to 0.01 m) so that BC is 200.00 m.

To find the width of a river, a surveyor sets up a transit at point C on one riverbank and
sights directly across to point B on the other bank. The surveyor then walks along the bank
for a distance of 275 meters to point A. The angle CAB is 57 degrees 28 minutes (57°28’).
What is the approximate width of the river? (20-points)

At some point, I notice I have a perfectly-aligned shot to put the 1-ball in the corner pocket. But I have to be careful; if I hit the cue too hard, I'll pocket my brother's ball as well. If my shot angle = 27°, and I've estimated the dimensions at the bottom (figure not to scale) in inches, how much initial velocity do I need to give the cue ball in order to pocket my ball but not my brother's? Reminder: the mass of a standard pool ball is 6 oz, the diameter is 2.25 inches, the coefficient of restitution for pool ball impacts is approximately 0.95, and the coefficient of rolling friction between a pool ball and the cloth is μ, ≈ 0.01. 7 12 50 8arrow_forwardA line AB = 55 mm long is inclined to HP at 40 degree.
